The mission of Special Olympics Belgium is to create a wide range of sports opportunities for all persons with an intellectual disability (as from the age of 8). The non-profit organisation helps people with an intellectual disability to practice a sport while at the same time contributing to their personal development by promoting their social integration and recognition. These athletes are given the opportunity to practice a sport to their liking and follow adjusted training sessions. The organisation also supports scientific research into tailored sports programmes. Each year, the non-profit organisation organises the National Games to award the great efforts and dedication of thousands of athletes with intellectual disabilities.
