Healthy Athletes is a Special Olympics program that provides free health screenings in a fun, welcoming environment that removes the anxiety and fear people with intellectual disabilities often experience when faced with a visit to a doctor or dentist. Special Smiles is one of the core components of the Special Olympics Healthy Athletes initiative, created to focus attention on the overall health issues facing Special Olympics athletes. The mission of Special Smiles is to increase access to dental care for Special Olympics athletes, as well as all people with intellectual disabilities.
Special Smiles Volunteer slots at our Outdoor Sports Tournament on August 5th at Carroll University are full! There are still general volunteer positions available helping with the sporting events on Aug 5th in Waukesha.
