Dear Friend,

Exceptional Parent Magazine cordially invites you to attend The Special Olympics FREE On-line Seminar/Teleconference on “The Health and Health Care of People with Intellectual Disabilities” on Wednesday, August 17, 2005 from 4:00 – 5:30pm (EASTERN).

The online seminar will provide an overview of newly released studies commissioned by Special Olympics detailing the health and health care of people with intellectual disabilities. The studies are some of the largest and most comprehensive ever conducted on the barriers to health care for people with intellectual disabilities.

The studies found disturbing evidence that individuals with intellectual disabilities face widespread health problems, while physicians, dentists and other health professionals are not receiving adequate training to treat them.
