Play isn’t just fun. It builds creativity, resilience, and social skills. It lays the foundation for lifelong learning and well-being. This #InternationalDayOfPlay, we’re celebrating the children, families, and coaches making Special Olympics Young Athletes a daily reality. ️⭐ Special Olympics Young Athletes is an early childhood play program for children of all abilities, ages 2 to 7. Studies show that after two months of participation in Young Athletes, children with intellectual disabilities experienced a seven-month gain in motor skills, representing an improvement at twice the rate of children who have not participated. 🔗 Looking for healthy developmental play activities at home?
