Healthy Athletes is a Special Olympics program that provides free health screenings in a fun, welcoming environment that removes the anxiety and trepidation people with intellectual disabilities often experience when faced with a visit to a doctor or dentist. By donating to this campaign, you can help support the program directly.

If a screening reveals that an athlete needs glasses (including sport glasses) or orthotics, those items are provided to the athlete free of charge (while supplies last), thanks to generous grants provided by health-related companies. Special Olympics Texas provides approximately 1,500 health screenings annually at the Winter Games, Summer Games and Fall Classic state competitions.

If you are interested in being a part of Healthy Athletes please contact Healthy@sotx.org.
