Live Healthy Education Fairs

Live Healthy Education Fairs are an extension of the healthy athletes clinics offered by Special Olympics Arkansas that currently screen athletes across the state in 6 disciplines:
Different from the screenings at the healthy athletes clinics, live healthy education fairs are purely informative hands on training segment of healthy athletes. Despite a mistaken belief that people with intellectual disabilities receive the same or better health care than others, they typically receive sub-standard care or virtually no health care at all. In an effort to expand the reach with healthy athletes Special Olympics Arkansas launched live healthy education fairs in 2014.
