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: Opening Eyes, Fit Feet, Healthy Hearing, Fun Fitness, Health Promotion and Special Smiles. 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.
Goal: Increase knowledge of Health and Wellness for Special Olympics Arkansas community
Goal: Expand Healthy Athletes reach to Area and Regional activities
Goal: Create a network of volunteers throughout the healthcare field
Each live healthy fair contains at least 2 educational topics for athletes and caregivers to learn about as they move through the fair. Educational topics may include: Nutrition, Hand washing, Sun Safety, Dental, Hydration, Bone Health, Smoke Cessation, and Fitness.
