  2. Special Olympics

  3. Our Reach Globally Nearly4 million athletes Nearly50,000 competitions around the world each year—more than 136 competitions hosted each day More than 1 million coaches and volunteers 32 Olympic-type summer and winter sports Special Olympics Accredited Programs inmore than 170 countries 7 Global Regional Offices—China, Egypt, Ireland, Panama, Singapore, South Africa and the United States

  4. World Games® Every two years, the world transcends the boundaries of geography, nationality, political philosophy, culture and religion to come together for the Special Olympics World Games. Alternating between Summer and Winter Games, these are flagship events for the Special Olympics Movement. Featuring more than a week of grueling yet inspiring international competition among thousands of athletes, the World Games are viewed by millions across six continents and more than a half-million spectators including world leaders, celebrities and dignitaries.

  5. Spread the Word to End the Word® Campaign The “Spread the Word to End the Word®” Campaign is a grassroots effort to get people around the world, including the entertainment industry, to stop using the “R-word” (“retard” and comparable words in different cultures). The campaign targets students through school events and social networking, inviting them to sign an online pledge and spread the word on their campuses. To date, nearly 250,000 people have taken the online pledge while millions around the world have signed petitions, displayed banners and taken oaths to stop hurtful language and banish prejudices.

  6. Get Into It® To educate, motivate, and activate all youth to be agents of change, schools in more than 75 countries around the world use the Special Olympics Get Into It® curriculum. Get Into It is a K-12 service-learning curriculum designed to promote acceptance and understanding of people’s differences, motivating them to become advocates for and together with all people. Get Into It has been translated into 23 languages and has reached more than 4.5 million students in general education classrooms. The full curriculum, as well as a variety of interactive web-based components are available for free online.

  7. Unified Sports® Unified Sports® places individuals with intellectual disabilities (athletes) and individuals without intellectual disabilities (partners) side-by-side on competitive sports teams. As the fastest growing sports initiative within Special Olympics, Unified Sports has been shown to raise the self-esteem of all participating athletes—with and without intellectual disabilities.

  8. Athlete LeadershipPrograms Athlete Leadership Programs train Special Olympics athletes to hold meaningful roles as public speakers, board members, sport officials, coaches, photographers and more. By participating in the Special Olympics Movement as leaders, not just recipients of services, athletes help shape the public’s perceptions about what they can do and gain skills that help them excel off the playing field.

  9. Special Olympics Mission To provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities (ID), giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

  36. Medication Risks • Major Health Risk Categories • Long QT Syndrome (cardiac arrhythmia) • Weight Gain • Osteoporosis (low bone density) • Constipation • Sun Sensitivity • Reflux • Carries (dental cavities) • Dehydration

  37. Medication Risk • Long QT Syndrome (cardiac arrhythmia) • Rule of 5% • 5% of SO athletes take an at risk medication • 5% of those athletes will have long QT syndrome • 5% of athletes with long QT will have a cardiac event • Detection - medication screening tool and EKG • Prevention – switch medications, do not engage in sports that elevate the pulse (e.g. bocce or bowling), know where the nearest AED is, in case of cardiac event.

  38. Medication Risk • Weight Gain • Another rule of 5% - in SO athletes these medications appear to cause, on average, a 5% increase in body mass compared to athletes not taking these medications. • Detection – bathroom scale, BMI chart • Prevention – switch medications, encourage portion control and better eating habits

  39. Medication Risk • Osteoporosis (low bone density) • Another rule of 5% - about 5% of SO athletes have Osteoporosis • About 15% of SO athletes have osteopenia • The lower the bone density, the higher to bone fracture risk • 21% of SO athletes have broken a bone • Athletes that take these medications have bone density scores that are 0.6 less on average than other SO athletes. • 0.0 vs -0.6 (-1.0 = osteopenia) • Detection – DEXA or peripheral bone scan (at HP venue) • Prevention – switch medications, weight bearing exercise, more sunlight, more vitamin D, more calcium. Avoid sports with trauma potential if t-scores are lower than -2.5 (osteoporosis).

  40. Medication Risk • Constipation • Laxatives are one of the most common prescribed medications to people with ID (up to 48%) • If bad enough, constipation can lead to impaction and intestinal rupture • Detection – the first sign might be behavioral changes in the athlete, decreased desire for sports. Just ask or get a history from the family/caregivers. • Prevention – high fiber diet, laxatives, hydration

  41. Medication Risk • Sun Sensitivity • Around 20% of SO athletes take medications that can cause sun sensitivity (easy burning, or rash associated with sun exposure) • Detection – redness, rash, blistering or peeling of skin on sun exposed areas • Prevention – medication review, sun screen, long sleeves, hat, pants, sunglasses.

  42. Medication Risk • Reflux • Very common problem in patients with ID (up to 36%) • Causes “heartburn”, can lead to behavior problems, eating problems, enamel erosion and tooth loss, esophageal cancer • Detection – May appear as behavioral problems, may be detected by dentist at Special Smiles if they see “posterior enamel erosion”, definitive testing comes from a GI specialist • Prevention – Medication review, anti-reflux medications
