Which competition is designed specifically for youth and adults with intellectual disabilities?

• A. NCAA
• B. Special Olympics
• C. Paralympics
• D. Invictus Games

Answer: (B)

Special Olympics is designed specifically for youth and adults with intellectual disabilities, offering sports training and competitions that fit a wide range of abilities while emphasizing personal growth, inclusion, and fun. Athletes compete in age- and ability-based divisions, from local events to international championships, giving everyone a path to participate and improve. This focus on intellectual disability sets it apart from other competitions: the Paralympics centers on athletes with physical disabilities (and sometimes other impairments), the Invictus Games are for wounded or ill military personnel, and NCAA governs college sports for student-athletes.
