| Program Description | Special Olympics’ Unified Strategy for schools, which includes Unified Sports, inclusive clubs, and
whole school engagement, addresses many of the challenges faced by students with disabilities
in schools today. Schools that implement this strategy (Unified Champion Schools) create
communities where students with disabilities feel welcome and are routinely included in all
school activities, opportunities and functions. As of 2017, 5,000 schools and 3.6 million young
people with and without disabilities are experiencing messages of inclusion and acceptance. |
