Description: Special Olympics Kentucky is a non-profit organization that provides sports training and competition programs for children and adults with mental disabilities throughout Kentucky. Programs and opportunities are available for Special Olympics athletes at both the local and state levels. Special Olympics Kentucky has a small staff that administers the programs statewide. But, by in-large, volunteers are the "driving force" behind the program. Volunteer opportunities range from a one-day committment to on-going coaching opportunities. History: Special Olympics founder, Eunice Kennedy Shriver started sports programs in the mid 1960's for persons with mental disabilities. Through these programs it was learned that these individuals with mental disabilities could develop physical 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. Thus, the Special Olympics program officially began in 1968 with the first ever International Games in Chicago. Three countries participated in those Games and today the movement has grown world-wide to where there are over 165 countries with accredited Special Olympics programs.

Related Subjects What Are The Special Olympics? The Special Olympics are athletic events held for qualifying individuals. These individuals must be 8 years of age or older and have mental retardation or a cognitive delay which affects their ability to learn or obtain work in some area. Each athlete is trained for one or more large motor events with the help of a coach. After training the athlete then competes in the targeted event with other Special Olympics athletes. [top] [home] History of the Special Olympics In the 1960’s a woman named Eunice Kennedy Shriver started a Day Camp for people with mental retardation. As she worked with these individuals she discovered that many of them were able to be more successful in their gross motor skills than had ever been expected. As each mentally impaired person further developed these skills it enhanced their growth in other aspects and raised their self-esteem and self-motivation. By 1968 Shriver organized the First International Special Olympic Games. They were held at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois.

What is the History and Meaning of the Olympic Games? an essay, by Michael Simos 6th grade, Montgomery Elementary, Atlanta (September 1995) Foreword Why are the Olympic Games so important? Why will people from all around the world come in the summer of 1996 to Atlanta to either watch or compete in them? Why is it that billions of people around the world will sit in front of their television sets to watch these games? To answer these questions we need to go back in history to find the meaning of the Olympic Games. 1. The Ancient Games. In ancient Greece, sports and competition were very important. The Greeks believed that physical exercise and mental training were connected to each other. The Greek word for education meant the development of the entire human being and could not be divided into physical and mental education, because the mind cannot exist without the body, and the body has no meaning without the mind. Their rule of thumb was, "Educate children with gymnastics and music." Religion encouraged this kind of education, and great athletic and musical contests were held in holy places, under the protection of the gods, and in front of thousands of spectators from all over Greece. The contests were called Games, and the most famous were held at the Sanctuary of Olympia in southwestern Greece. The Olympian or Olympic Games started in 776 BC, and were held every four years in honor of Zeus, the king of the mythical Greek gods. They were at their peak in the 5th and 4th centuries BC, but they were suppressed in 394 AD by the Roman emperor Theodosius I.

Jointly sponsored by the Department of Public Informati on (DPI) and the International Public Relations Association (IPRA), the annual award was established in 1990 to recognize excellence in public relations campaigns that address priority issues of the United Nations. BM's campaign was recognized for its ongoing support of Special Olympics International, which provides sports training and athletic competition in Olympic-type sports for children and adults with mental retardation. The campaign effectively overcame significant cultural barriers and misunderstanding to achieve both national and international support and recognition for the Special Olympics movement in China . Prior to the campaign both the Special Olympics organization and the issue of mental retardation had a low profile in China . Though active in China for many years, Special Olympics had made little headway in penetrating the Chinese education system, health system and philanthropic establishment.

Services and Programs Mission The mission of Special Olympics Florida (SOFL) is to provide year-round sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for people with mental retardation, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in the sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community. The ultimate objective of Special Olympics Florida is to help people with mental retardation participate as productive and respected members of society at large, by offering them a fair opportunity to develop and demonstrate their skills and talents through sports training and competition, and by increasing the public's awareness of their capabilities and needs. History The concept of Special Olympics began in the early 1960s when Eunice Kennedy Shriver started a day camp in her own backyard for people with mental retardation. From that experience, it was clear that these individuals were far more capable in sports and physical activities than many experts believed. In 1968, Mrs. Shriver organized the first International Special Olympics Games at Soldier Field in Chicago, in the belief that the lessons these athletes learned through sports would translate into new competence and success in school, in the workplace, and in the community. Above all, Mrs. Shriver wanted the families and neighbors of people with mental retardation to see what these individuals could accomplish, to take pride in their efforts, and to rejoice in their victories.
