Welcome to our special edition of Inclusion Revolution Radio and Spotlight Sessions from Special Olympics and accessiBe. It’s an exclusive series of conversations, where we talk about all things inclusion, sport and accessibility.

In our seventh episode, we were fortunate enough to speak to Brittany Routh, Director of Healthy Athletes for the Special Olympics. Healthy Athletes is a global program that offers Special Olympics athletes and unified partners free health screenings in nine different disciplines. Since 2021, Brittany has overseen the Healthy Athletes operation at major events, including the 2022 USA Games 2022 Unified Cup and 2023 World Games Berlin.

In this episode, Brittany discusses:
1. The ultimate goal of the Healthy Athletes program.
2. A few top moments from the Special Olympics World Games 2023.
3. The importance of people with intellectual disabilities having an active role and a voice in their healthcare journey.
4. How to get involved, and why volunteers get hooked for life!
