\n<\/TABLE>Individuals interested in the health of people with intellectual\/developmental disabilities are invited to attend a free Special Olympics Health Symposium on Saturday, July 17. <\/p>\n

The symposium — titled “Improving Health for People with Intellectual Disabilities – Policy, Practice and Possibility” — runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Durham Research Center auditorium on the University of Nebraska Medical Center campus at 45th & Emile streets in Omaha. <\/p>\n

The event precedes the 2010 Special Olympics USA National Games in Lincoln on July 18-23, in which nearly 3,000 athletes are expected to compete in 13 Olympic-style sports.<\/p>\n

Timothy Shriver, Ph.D., chairman and CEO of the Special Olympics, will present the symposium’s keynote address on how we must close the gap on the unmet health needs for people with intellectual disabilities.<\/p>\n

The symposium is directed toward individuals interested in the health of people with intellectual\/developmental disabilities including: individuals with ID\/DD, family and friends, health care and allied health care professionals and students, educators, child care providers, youth groups, service providers, representatives of governmental or advocacy agencies, policy makers and media. <\/p>\n

The UNMC Munroe-Meyer Institute, the American Association of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry, Special Olympics International and Exceptional Parent Magazine are sponsors of the event.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
