The Schools Division Office (SDO) of Pasay recently conducted a training program for teachers and coaches of youth leaders and unified partners, focusing on promoting Unified Sports and the implementation of Special Olympics initiatives. The training aimed to equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to foster inclusive sports activities for students with intellectual disabilities.
The sessions covered various aspects of Unified Sports, which integrates students with and without intellectual disabilities in team sports, promoting teamwork, inclusion, and respect.
