INCLUSIVE HEALTH
Special Olympics Vermont is part of the world’s largest public health organization for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), providing free health screenings, education, and wellness programs year-round.​ Our Inclusive Health approach ensures that individuals with IDD have equal access to quality care by breaking down barriers in the health system and training providers to deliver compassionate, informed care.
INCLUSIVE HEALTH PROVIDER TRAINING
Healthcare providers play a vital role in advancing health equity for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Yet many providers report limited training in how to deliver inclusive, compassionate care.
​
Special Olympics Vermont offers Inclusive Health trainings that equip providers and students with the knowledge and tools to better serve people with IDD—improving communication, accessibility, and trust in clinical settings. By participating, you’ll not only expand your clinical skills but also help reduce health disparities, promote dignity, and ensure every patient receives the quality care they deserve.
