In terms of vision need, there are few populations more marginalized and discriminated against than people with intellectual disabilities. Meet Brina and Sashi, two courageous Special Olympics youth leaders who aim to raise the flag for inclusive vision care with their “Eye Can Play” project.
The Generation Unified (GenUin) Special Olympics Social Impact Summit gathered 120 youth leaders from 30 countries to develop Impact projects focusing on ideas that will make their communities more inclusive for people with intellectual disabilities.
