"We are the parents of an amazing teenager with special needs. Over the last 7 years, we've witnessed his confidence, leadership skills and overall happiness grow due to his participation in Special Olympics Texas.
 

We realize that having a child with special needs sometimes means that their opportunities to participate in athletic activities are limited, especially as they reach adolescence. Special Olympics creates a safe environment where there is no judgment but a chance for them to be celebrated. Athletes are free to be themselves while competing and gaining new skills and new friends." 

-The Abbotts
