We focus on regular training and high quality coaching to help athletes of all abilities develop skills, improve physical fitness and build confidence. We offer structured regional and international competitions, giving athletes the chance to showcase their talents and celebrate achievement on a global stage. It is the engine that drives inclusion across the Special Olympics movement.

Good health is essential to the well-being and success of people with IDD, yet many face significant barriers to quality healthcare. Through strategic partnerships, specialized clinical director training, and targeted inclusive health initiatives such as Healthy Athletes and Young Athletes, we strive to bridge these gaps and create a future where every individual has access to quality healthcare and the opportunity to lead a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Creating an environment where every student, regardless of ability, feels welcomed, valued, and included in school is critical to the success of any education system. At Special Olympics Asia Pacific, we foster this environment through Unified Champion Schools®, using sport and inclusive leadership programming for youth to change the way students, schools and whole education systems work.

Ensuring that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) can reach their full potential is central to our work. We focus on building confidence, developing skills, and creating meaningful opportunities for individuals with IDD to share their experiences and perspectives with the wider world. Equally important is bringing people with and without IDD together. We work to create inclusive environments where everyone can learn, grow, and thrive side by side. Through these shared experiences, individuals are empowered to lead and advocate on key issues such as access to healthcare, quality education, employment opportunities, and reducing inequalities.
