The Special Olympics is a non-profit organization founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver. The mission of this organization is “to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities…” and its vision is the creation of a better world “by fostering the acceptance and inclusion of all people.” Special Olympics aims to empower individuals with intellectual disabilities by allowing them to engage in competition, develop athletic skills, find their talents and strengths, build confidence, improve their health, and much more.
