Program DescriptionSpecial 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.
