ABOUT SPECIAL OLYMPICS:

• THE NEED: Approximately 4% OF THE WORLD’S POPULATION, which is almost 200 MILLION PEOPLE have intellectual disabilities, making them ONE OF THE LARGEST POPULATIONS WITH DISABILITIES in the world.

o People with intellectual disabilities are less likely to choose employment

o More likely to be victims of abuse and violence

o More likely to have low levels of health and problems accessing adequate health services.

• SPECIAL OLYMPICS IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A MOVEMENT:

• Its mission is TO INCLUDE PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES INTO SOCIETY THROUGH DIFFERENT PROGRAMS SUCH AS HEALTH, SPORTS, EDUCATION AND COMMUNITIES.
