In 2015, we all met in Los Angeles for one week of amazement. There are a number of elements that make “our Olympics” special, but for me, the best thing about us is that there is no difference between Special Olympics at the world level and Special Olympics at the local level. This year’s living example of this is Benton County – Indiana’s own Amanda Cayton. Amanda is like thousands of athletes in Indiana. She had some interest in Track and Field, but really didn’t enjoy running all that much. And then, something magical took place – she found the right sport and the right coach. Former Benton Central football coach Dave Black recognized her interest and agreed to become her coach. He knew the sport of Powerlifting, and dedicated his time to Amanda on the condition that she matched his level of commitment. Spoiler alert... Two years later Amanda is a 4-time gold medal winner in Powerlifting at the 2015 Los Angeles Special Olympics World Games. Just like almost every Special Olympics athlete I know, when a well-qualified coach makes a commitment and expects the best from his or her athletes, amazing things happen. Since July, many people have seen Amanda’s four gold medals and appreciated that she is the best in world. But if that’s all they think, they are missing the point. Special Olympics is not about being the best – it’s about doing your best. It’s the same for Amanda as it is for each of the 11,000+ Special Olympics athletes in Indiana. Whether you volunteer, donate, coach, or cheer – you can be the person who helps a hidden champion realize their personal best. - Michael Furnish The goal of Special Olympics Indiana is for all persons with intellectual disabilities to have the chance to become useful and productive citizens who are accepted and respected in their communities. Special Olympics Indiana Annual Report 2015 4 ABOUT US WORLD-CLASS PROGRAMS UNIFIED SPORTS R Where individuals with and without disabilities train and compete on the same team against other Unified Sports® teams. Indiana has 3,273 partners. 12,022 athlete participation rate 28 sports 74 county programs CHAMPIONS TOGETHER ONE DREAM The establishment of the “Champions Together,” partnership between the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) and Special Olympics Indiana begun when IHSAA Commissioner, Bobby Cox, challenged the IHSAA Student Advisory Committee (SAC) to engage in Aquatics Distance Run & Walk Softball Snow Shoeing Figure Skating “servant leadership” and discover ways to give back to their schools and communities. The IHSAA SAC researched options, and unanimously Basketball Equestrian Track & Field Motor Activities Floor Hockey requested that an official partnership be formed with Special Olympics as the most appropriate fit for education-based athlete servant Bocce Flag Football Triathlon Training Program Soccer leadership. Champions Together helps Special Olympics Indiana athletes to participate alongside their classmates in sports at their local high schools. The Champions Together program has grown from just 13 high schools since its inception, to more than 60 high schools today. Bowling Golf Volleyball Unified Track Speed Skating Young Athletes Corn Toss Horseshoes Alpine Skiing Tennis The partnership will provide a banner to all schools that meet minimum requirements in the areas of 1) student led servant leadership, Cycling Powerlifting Snow Boarding Ballroom Dance 2) awareness and inclusion as it relates to all individuals with intellectual disabilities, 3) volunteerism through service to the schools and community and 4) fundraising to promote the vision and programs of Special Olympics Indiana.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 408 547 CG 027 832 AUTHOR Snyder, Jon D.; Spindel, Ann TITLE Stacking the Odds: A National Directory of Exemplary Programs. INSTITUTION Indiana Youth Inst., Indianapolis. PUB DATE 97 NOTE 203p. PUB TYPE Reference Materials Directories/Catalogs (132) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC09 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adolescents; Career Counseling; *Directories; *Long Range Planning; Post High School Guidance; Program Descriptions; Program Development; Program Guides; *Pupil Personnel Services; School Counseling; School Counselors; Secondary Education; Secondary School Students; Student Needs ABSTRACT A recent study found that many students have dreams for the future, but many of them are on paths that do not lead to that future. Many institutions are already taking steps to close the gap between aspirations and reality, and some of the programs that are working to stack the odds in children's favor are profiled in this directory. Educational research indicates that visits to successful programs motivates visitors by allowing them to see how the process works and by showing them the power of possibility. This directory is intended as a resource that individuals or institutions can refer to when looking for ways to help students and to locate financial aid, counseling programs, and other information. The program descriptions are designed to provide sufficient information to pique interest and to encourage a site visit. The directory helps identify programs that may support readers' needs. It is organized around the focus of project activities. Exemplary sites fall into four domains:(1) Pathways in schools; (2) Pathways into Postsecondary Institutions;(3) Pathways into work; and (4) Pathways to families and communities.
