In this program, adults in North Carolina and Arkansas with intellectual and developmental disabilities are provided a structured 16-week program to increase physical activity.

Participants will work with an individual coach of their choosing to set goals related to physical activity and track their progress on those goals using technology. In addition, PACE program participants will attend weekly, community-based exercise classes in an inclusive setting with trained exercise professionals.

Adults that are 18+, have an intellectual disability, and want to increase their physical activity. They must be willing to drive regularly to the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill or to the University of Arkansas in Northwest Arkansas to participate.

Participants will engage in the PACE Program from 16 to 32 weeks.

Participants will need transportation to the weekly community exercise class.

Participants will need someone to be their coach during the program to help them meet their goals.
