Week 16- The future of the Special Olympics


            The future of the Special Olympics as a social movement is promising.  As an expanding international non-profit, the Special Olympics establishment as an American organization has provided it a strong foundation.  Its scale of expansionism is astounding in all dimensions of growth, particularly with its spread to the international community.  Predominantly noteworthy is the continued preservation of the organization at a local level.  The success and demand for Special Olympic activities has created a sense of internalization in regards to the acceptance and promotion of athleticism for the intellectually disabled community.
