The Special Olympics was founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver to provide individuals with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to participate in organized sports. The movement aimed to promote inclusion, acceptance, and athleticism while fostering a sense of community and personal achievement. It emerged from a need to challenge the stigma surrounding disabilities and to empower participants through physical fitness and competition. Today, it serves millions of athletes worldwide, promoting a message of respect and dignity.
