Special Olympics
Special Olympics is an international organization that helps people with Intellectual Disabilities develop self confidence and social skills through sports training and competition. Special Olympics was created by Chicago Judge Ann McGlone Burke in the 1960s, with further materials and organizational support from Eunice Kennedy Shriver. The late Rosemary Kennedy, who suffered from mental retardation, is often credited as the inspiration for the Special Olympics. (Shriver and Kennedy were sisters.) The current chairman and chief executive officer of the organization is Bruce Pasternack.
