Method: In-depth interviews conducted with 20 athletes with intellectual disabilities from various states of India and thematic analysis of the data has been carried out. Results: Thematic analysis revealed seven themes which assessed the athlete’s perceptions related to their sport in various domains of mental health. Athletes stated a surge in their level of confidence since they started participating in the sport which further enhanced their communication and team work skills. Athletes also feel that their social skills have improved, leading to more bonding and belonging in their relationships.

But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” SPECIAL OLYMPICS ASIA PACIFIC ANNUAL REPORT 2017 CHANGING LIVES THROUGH THE POWER OF SPORT MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 2017 was the second year of our five-year global strategic plan where we made inroads throughout the Asia Pacific with the work we have done as a region. So I would like to begin by thanking each and every one of the Program Leaders, athletes, coaches, families and volunteers, in our Programs for your contribution and hard work. You have truly embodied our mission of ending discrimination against people with intellectual disabilities for a more inclusive society. The numbers speak eloquently of your dedication and the impact it’s had. In 2017, your efforts touched the lives of more than two million athletes and Unified Partners. More than 37,000 competitions at all levels were conducted for our athletes with the assistance of close to 300,000 volunteers and coaches. That’s four competitions every hour for an entire year! 2017 began auspiciously with Special Olympics Kiribati joining the Asia Pacific family. January also saw Comms staff from 11 Programs coming to the regional office in Singapore for communications training in preparation for the Winter Games.

  • 2009 Annual Report
    2009 Annual Report ABOUT THE COVER PORTRAIT Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s portrait was made by artist David Lenz and is on display at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. It represents the first time the museum commissioned a portrait of an individual who has not served as either a president or first lady. The portrait’s prominent location, adjacent to the Smithsonian’s much-loved Hall of Presidents, pays homage not only to Mrs. Shriver, but to people like David’s son, Sam, who has an intellectual disability. “Mrs. Shriver made the world a better place for Sam, and by celebrating her life,” says David Lenz, “I’m shining a spotlight on the remarkable work she’s done.” In Lenz’s painting, Eunice Kennedy Shriver is at her Cape Cod, Massachusetts, home surrounded by four Special Olympics athletes and a Best Buddies Ambassador —(from left to right) Airika Straka of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin; Katie Meade of Des Moines, Iowa; Andy Leonard of Reynoldsburg, Ohio; Loretta Claiborne of York, Pennsylvania; and Marty Sheets of Greensboro, North Carolina. With a broad smile on her face and her arm draped over Sheets’ shoulder, she is clearly enjoying being with him. “The very act of inviting people with intellectual disabilities into the painting mirrors the essence of Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s work: understanding and inclusion,” says Lenz. This portrait debuted at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery on May 9, 2009. 3 4 Leadership Letter 5 A Tribute to Eunice Kennedy Shriver 6 Growing a Movement 7 Building Awareness One Fan and ‘Click’ at a Time 8 Establishing a Foundation of Sports 10 Engaging the Passion and Energy of Youth 11 Providing Athletes Equal Access to Good Health 12 Tapping into Research and Innovation 13 Where Are We in the World? 20 Corporate Supporters 22 Global Supporters 24 2009 Financials 26 Board of Directors 27 Leadership Staff & Mission 4 LETTER FROM..
