Transforming lives of people with intellectual disability
Special Olympics is the not-for-profit organisation that transforms the lives of people with an intellectual disability through regular sports participation and competition. Special Olympics is not one single event and it’s not just for elite athletes. Our volunteers provide sports opportunities for all people with an intellectual disability, regardless of their skill level, and they do this every week of the year in communities right across Australia. People with an intellectual disability who participate in Special Olympics improve their fitness, develop greater self-confidence, and grow socially and spiritually.
