The Special Olympics Upper North Shore Club is part of a global movement of people creating a new world of inclusion and community, where every single person is accepted and welcomed, regardless of ability or disability. "The Special Olympics play an enormous role in bringing athletes together and giving them the opportunity to learn team spirit, to interact, negotiate, to have transactions. I think sport is one of the few areas or platforms that they can do it as intellectually disabled people." Special Olympics Syndey Upper North Shore parent.
