Michelle Obama to open 2015 Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles
Los Angeles — First
lady Michelle Obama is coming to Los Angeles next month to kick off the Special
Olympics World Games, organizers announced Thursday.
Obama, long an advocate of physical fitness and healthy
lifestyles, will take part in the games' opening ceremonies July 25 at the Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum, site of opening ceremonies for the 1932 and 1984
Summer Olympics.
"The Special Olympics movement is thrilled and honored
to have first lady Michelle Obama join us on this momentous occasion,"
said Tim Shriver, the games' chairman. "Her vision of wellness, fitness
and inclusion of all in sport is at the heart of Special Olympics."
With approximately 7,000 athletes participating in 26
different sports, organizers expect the nine-day Special Olympics will be the
largest sports event Los Angeles has hosted since the 1984 Summer Olympics.
They anticipate as many as 500,000 spectators will take part in the various
events, all of which are free except for the opening ceremony.

Self-Advocacy
What do you need to know to be a self-advocate? How can you
practice leadership? Are there any college programs that teach self-advocacy
skills? And where can you see what college is like? The Health Resource Center
at The George Washington University has produced an online teaching tool about
self advocacy. It provides students with disabilities basic knowledge about the
self-advocacy skills that they will need to be successful in a college setting.
