The Special Olympics New York Virtual Health & Wellness Forums are a space for individuals with ID, families, caregivers and coaches to engage with health-focused individuals/organizations such as Healthcare Providers and Fitness Specialists. The Forums provide information and resources related to the health of Special Olympics athletes, while also focusing on bettering access to health care, education and inclusive activities for people with intellectual disabilities. Often, the health struggles that those with ID face are directly related to the lack of education and resources available to the population and their caregivers. We aim to cover topical issues that our community wishes to learn more about, and in turn positively impact the health of people with ID across the State.
Forums are presentation based with the opportunity to submit questions to the speaker. Participants are asked to register with the Zoom links below. Recordings will be available to view on our website after the live presentation is complete!
