Live Healthy Education Fairs

Live Healthy Education Fairs are an extension of the Healthy Athletes clinics offered by Special Olympics Arkansas. 

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 health care  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.
