Submitted by: Margaret Larsen

Member: Texas Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities (appointed by the Governor of Texas)

“For more than 40 years, Special Olympics Texas (SOTX) has been committed to providing year-round sports training and competition opportunities for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Furthermore, Special Olympics focuses on providing programming that empowers athletes and fosters social change, starting with youth, through programs like Young Athletes and Meet in the Middle. These unique programs are changing the lives of school-age children in Texas, bringing together students with and without intellectual disabilities in the classroom to foster inclusion and acceptance. To learn more about SOTX's efforts to improve the quality of life for our athletes, visit www.specialolympicstexas.org and www.mimtexas.org.”
