Background: Children with disabilities face limitations in their activities and environments. Currently, children with disabilities are vulnerable to nutritional issues, particularly obesity. Obesity is a condition where a child has a BMI of 30 or more, which can significantly impact their health. If left untreated, obesity can develop into more serious health problems. Therefore, there is a need for educational efforts to prevent obesity, one of which is through the Isi Piringku educational program. This program promotes a balanced diet with 50% fruits and vegetables and 50% carbohydrates and proteins, which has been proven effective in reducing obesity rates.
Aim: This community service project aims to prevent obesity and enhance children's understanding of disabilities through the Isi Piringku education program.
Method: This community service activity was conducted with 18 children with disabilities and their teachers. The activity began with screening, followed by providing education through the Isi Piringku program, which was delivered using visual media such as images and posters.
Result: The results of this program showed that 2 children with disabilities (11.1%) were classified as obese. However, after receiving education through the program, the children became more aware of the importance of healthy eating habits.
Conclusion: The education provided through the Isi Piringku program proved effective in enhancing the understanding of children with disabilities regarding the importance of a healthy diet.
