Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Special Olympics Massachusetts is excited to announce its newest Young
Athlete program. In partnership with Cardinal Cushing Centers in Hanover,
the Young Athlete program will bring developmentally appropriate active
play to families on the South Shore. Special Olympics Young Athletes™ is
a unique sport and play program for children with intellectual and
developmental disabilities. The focus is on fun activities that are
important to mental and physical growth. Through the program children
between the ages of two and seven years-old will be introduced to games and
activities designed develop motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
About the local program leadership:
• Cardinal Cushing Centers provides individuals with intellectual
disabilities and autism spectrum disabilities of all ages opportunities to
discover the benefits of a supportive and vibrant community. We are proud
of our nationally recognized opportunities for learning, working, living
and playing together.

Young Athletes is an early introduction to sports and to the world of
Special Olympics. The children learn new things, play and have lots of fun!

skills. The confidence boost makes it easier for them to play and talk with
other children on the playground and elsewhere.
