Unified Champion Resources

Unified Sports is a great starting point to build a culture of inclusion in schools. It is one component of Unified Champion Schools. Unified Champion Schools promotes social inclusion by bringing together young people with and without intellectual disabilities on sports teams (Unified Sports), through inclusive student clubs and youth leadership (Inclusive Youth Leadership), and in school or community-wide initiatives (Whole School Engagement).  Click on the link above for a  list of resources to implement the Unified Champion Schools Program
