- 21. 21 / Special Olympics Key Takeaways Young people care about the issues that impact them directly and can be seen in their every day lives. Good health is ideal and aspirational, but real life often gets in the way. Teens and 20-somethings appreciate brands and companies who will help them achieve their health goals with simple steps that won’t break the bank. Young people are being raised to value inclusivity, celebrate diversity and stand up when they see those values at risk. They have seen the impact of the great recession, and know that education is the key to success in today’s world. But they know that not everyone is afforded the same opportunities and that the rising cost of education will impact their generations’ ability to get ahead.

- Brief overview of Special Olympics. We are not just about sports. We are about using sport to empower people with ID to live more fulfilling lives that reflect dignity, equity, opportunity, and inclusion.
- Brief overview of Special Olympics. Not about “them” but about “us.” Not about events but about movement driven by events. Not about sports but about sports to change the world.
- Millennials Leading the Way on Acceptance and Inclusion; Except on Use of the “R-Word” and Pregnancy Likely as a result of increased exposure and interaction, young adult Americans have more progressive attitudes toward, and expectations for, people with ID. Millennial women, ages 18-34, in general are the most compassionate, inclusive and progressive of any group surveyed. Millennials, ages 18-34, are more likely than their older counterparts to know someone with an intellectual disability (66%) and have a greater understanding of what it means to have ID than older Americans. While Millennials shared a similar openness to working, having their children go to school and living near someone with ID, they were almost twice as open as those ages 65+ to having a child date (61%) or marry (59%) someone with ID. There are some exceptions to the rule of the open-minded Millennial. Fewer young men, ages 18-54, find using the word “retard” to describe a friend or themselves acting foolish offensive compared to older Americans. Younger women found it the most offensive. More than 9 in 10 Millennial women (94%), many of whom are of child bearing age, believed that at least some people would terminate a pregnancy or give a child up for adoption if they discovered an intellectual disability. Still Okay to Use the R-Word to Describe Friends; Not Acceptable When Describing Someone with a Clear Intellectual Disability A vast majority (89%) of Americans agree that calling someone with Down syndrome or autism a retard is offensive and find it offensive when directed at a stranger (76%) who does something foolish. Nevertheless, a large number of Americans think the word “retard” can be used inoffensively in other situations. Many believe it is not offensive to call a friend a retard (38%) or to describe oneself that way after making a mistake (56%).
- Example: Story of impact Story of James Pierce James (42 year old man with Down syndrome) was referred to Henry Hood for care. The most severe aspects of James’ illnesses and neglect are evident, even to a lay person from the before photo. James’ condition reflected years of neglect for what would have started as routine needs that unaddressed became extreme, destructive and even life threatening. Undoubtedly, by the time James reached this stage, his emergency needs were clearly evident, but no "regular" dentist was going to take him on in this advanced condition and with ID. Dr. Henry Hood, a developmental dentistry specialist, took James on as a patient. James needed multiple extractions, periodontal care and construction of a complete and partial denture. James' serious oral diseases have been resolved, but the environmental and policy conditions that allowed him to get to that stage largely have not.
- As we evolved, and because so many of our initiatives were offered to schools, and because our state Programs had leeway in adapting to their individualized needs and goals, -- and because we were also learning from our evaluation that it was the combination and cumulative affect of participation in activities that had the greatest impact, we ended up defining the 3 core components. We now require that each school strive to offer activities from all of the components be considered a Project UNIFY school. Explain components and initiatives
