BOKS and Special Olympics have partnered together to get more kids active and improve their physical and emotional well-being, by offering youth with and without intellectual disabilities (ID) opportunities to be more active and establish a lifelong commitment to health and fitness. BOKS’ evidence-based programming supports the Special Olympics’ mission to create a more inclusive world by getting children of all ages and abilities active.
The Active Kids program includes lesson plans, training, and support needed to get kids moving for up to 45 minutes a day. It also includes shorter movement breaks, games, and activities tailored to your needs as an educator or parent.
Regular physical activity is proven to help prevent and manage non-communicable diseases, and help with physical health, mental health issues, and academic performance and yet, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 81% of adolescents do not do enough physical activity.
