About Me
Hi, my name is Sydney Reichhardt. Welcome to my professional portfolio! I am currently in my last year of my undergraduate education at Montana State University where I am studying nutrition and dietetics. My main interest within the nutrition field is focusing on the nutritional requirements of individuals with developmental disabilities and other special health care needs. More specifically, I am interested in developing a greater knowledge base through research to promote healthier growth patterns in individuals with disabilities that will lead to less dependency on prescription drugs with aging. While individuals with developmental disabilities often face similar nutrition issues as the general population, additional research and education is needed to address these issues in an effective manner that meets the needs of people with special health care needs.
