GREETING


Thank you all!

There are never enough words or time to simply express the gratitude from myself and

all of the athletes for your determination in making this very grass roots effort survive for

40 years, unbelievable 40 years!

We have all fought, cried and ultimately witnessed a true global movement that not only

allows the athlete to compete in many sports, but addresses to the world the true need

for programs offered through Special Olympics competition and training.

A couple of years ago I attended a local competition in Southern Arkansas and was quickly

reminded how important this program is to the families and athletes ~ a parent sat in the

stands while their child competed in a Basketball competition and was amazed watching

her son play basketball. Her words to me were, “thank you, we never knew, thought, oh

well” and with tears in her eyes she just sat and watched the end of the game. The game

ended, and as we all do, she went to the court floor after the team had given their congrats

to the other team and hugged her son.

This story is everywhere, everyday, but I think we quickly forget how important the athlete

is to the world. Speak proudly about the program you love, wear your t-shirts with pride,

tell the world how much you admire the athlete, respect the oath, respect the brand, and

know that this athletic movement that was created from a backyard camp will remain a

principal player in the life of an athlete forever.

“Let me Win, but if I cannot win, Let me be brave in the attempt”, words to live by, words

to love.

Kindest Regards,

Terri Weir

History!!

!

Special Olympics Arkansas (SOAR) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in North Little Rock (Pulaski County). The Mission of Special Olympics Arkansas is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendships with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

Special Olympics Arkansas began in 1970, just two years after Special Olympics Incorporated founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver held the first Special Olympics games at Soldier Field in Chicago (1968). Arkansas’ games were held in Conway Arkansas at Hendrix College. There were approximately 260 athletes in attendance. The following year games were held in North Little Rock, Arkansas at Old Main. Eunice Kennedy Shriver was in attendance.

Since our first games in 1970 Special Olympics Arkansas has grown to 17 Areas encompassing all counties in the state. SOAR supports 15,000 adults and children with intellectual disabilities. There are 20 different Olympic-type sports offered and 240 competitions year-round. Some sports include Bocce, Bowling, Field Hockey, Basketball, Flag Football, Softball, Golf, Soccer, Athletics, Volleyball, and Gymnastics. Our largest competition event is summer games. The event, held in May each year, is host to 2000 athletes participating in 7 different sports. Arkansas athletes also compete in Special Olympics USA Games held in the summer every four years and Special Olympics World Games held every four years alternating between winter and summer competitions.

In addition to our competitions and training Special Olympics Arkansas has programming in health, education, and community building. Special Olympics Healthy Athlete, a Special Olympics program that provides free health screenings in a fun, welcoming environment that removes the anxiety and trepidation people with intellectual disabilities often experience when faced with a visit to a doctor or dentist. Young Athlete, a unique sport and play program for children with intellectual disabilities. The focus is on fun activities that are important to mental and physical growth. As Special Olympics athletes gain in confidence and feel empowered, they often seek new challenges. They want to build on their successes, including their social skills. Our Athlete Leadership Program is designed to meet this need. Special Olympics Arkansas launched Project Unify in the fall of 2013, an education-based project that uses sports and education programs to activate young people to develop school communities where all youth are agents of change – fostering respect, dignity and advocacy for people with intellectual disabilities. Special Olympics Arkansas currently has a volunteer base of 5,000+. Volunteers are a huge part of the Special Olympics movement, from games and competitions to fundraising and programs. 1 in 6 families is touched by Special Olympics through athletes, donors and volunteers. The Special Olympics Arkansas movement continues to evolve while always remaining focused on paving the way for social inclusion community-wide.

The man behind the first Torch Run in 1981 was Wichita, Kansas Police Chief Richard LaMunyan. He conceivedthe Torch Run as a way to involve local law enforcement personnel in the community and to support SpecialOlympics. The Torch Run was quickly adopted by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) nowrecognized as the founding law enforcement organization for the Law Enforcement Torch Run® for SpecialOlympics.

Today, the Torch Run is more than just a run and encompasses a variety of fundraising vehicles such as T-shirtand merchandise sales, special events to include polar bear plunges, tip-a-cop and building sits and a host ofother events that have local, state and national appeal. The Law Enforcement Torch Run transforms commu-nities by inspiring people to open their minds, to accept and include people with intellectual disabilities, cele-brating differences among all people … recognizing and respecting the similarities we all share. For athletesand officers alike, the Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics is a story of success, love, respectand commitment between law enforcement officers and Special Olympic athletes.

The Problem (universal, not limited to intellectual

disabilities population)

Young students face many challenges today, from

achieving personal and academic success to feeling

emotionally and physically healthy and safe. These

challenges are compounded for some students

due to the presence of an intellectual disability.

Although progress has been made by many edu-

cational systems in promoting the physical and

instructional inclusion of students with intellectual

disabilities there are still staggering social challeng-

es for these students that compromise their social

and emotional well-being. Students with intellec-

tual disabilities experience negative attitudes from

their peers, social isolation and rejection, and even

victimization in the form of bullying. And, in many

cultures, youth with intellectual disabilities are not

included in educational programs at all or are edu-

cated separately and unnecessarily away from their

peers without intellectual disabilities.

The Intervention (evidence based)

premise that in order to have the greatest impact

the change needs to start with young people.

Project UNIFY brings youth with and without intel-

lectual disabilities together through education and

sports and related initiatives that provide them

with the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary

to create and sustain school communities that pro-

mote the acceptance, respect and human dignity

for all students. Project UNIFY is made up of three

main components:

1) Inclusive Sports – provides opportunities for

students with and without intellectual disabili-

ties to participate in sports activities alongside

one another and which we have found to be

among the most conducive activity for breaking

physical education and intramurals, inclusive

2) Youth Leadership & Advocacy – provides

students with and without intellectual dis-

abilities opportunities to take on leadership

roles in promoting Project UNIFY activities in

the school and in the community (e.g. Partners

Clubs, Youth Activation Committees, Youth

Summits).

3) Whole-School Engagement – provides oppor-

tunities for all students in the school to par-

ticipate in Project UNIFY through school-wide

activities (e.g. R-word campaign, Fans In the

It is the combination of these unique components

that provides the most opportunity for creating

positive school climates and ensuring that all stu-

dents, particularly those with intellectual disabili-

ties, become part of the social fabric of the school.

A Broader Vision of Social Inclusion Through Youth Activation and Inclusive Sports


2 Special Olympics: Special Olympics Project UNIFY Factsheet

Outcomes

Students without disabilities hold more posi-

tive attitudes toward their peers with intellec-

tual disabilities. (Measure: attitude and behav-

ior change);

When school communities are based on ac-

ceptance, students with intellectual disabilities

feel welcome and are routinely included in, and

feel a part of, all school activities, opportunities

and functions; (Measure: perceptions of school

climate);

Perception of Special Olympics as a school and

-

tions of Special Olympics by general educators

and school administrators);

More students with and without intellectual

disabilities playing sports together (Measures:

more 2-7 year-olds participating in Young Ath-

letes, and more Young Athlete programs).

Impact

Two thirds, or 66%, of school liaisons observed

that Project UNIFY helps raise awareness

about students with intellectual disabilities

and increases opportunities for students with

and without intellectual disabilities to work

together;

More than half of school liaisons observed

that Project UNIFY increases opportunities for

students with intellectual disabilities to get

involved in school activities;

Three quarters, or 74%, of participating stu-

dents said Project UNIFY was a positive turning

point in their lives and that they became more

patient, learned to compromise, and in two

thirds of instances said they learned they have

things in common with their peers with intellec-

tual disabilities;

Nearly all school liaisons and students said they

would like to participate next year and that

Project UNIFY was successful at their school.

Reach

Current:

schools across 42 states.

As many as 500,000 young people are experi-

encing Project UNIFY activities and projects,

including 21,000 Special Olympics athletes and

11,000 youth leaders.

Future Goals:

Expand Project UNIFY in the U.S. by 2015 to

include 5,000 schools.

Expand opportunities for youth leadership in

participation among school aged youth.

Increase the engagement of general educators

and school and state administrators in Project

UNIFY principles and practices.
