Abstract
This symposium brings together three presentations to discuss the positive impacts of an innovative, school-wide social inclusion program on social-emotional learning (SEL) and academic outcomes for students with and without intellectual disabilities (ID). Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools (UCS) brings students with and without ID together through inclusive sports and leadership opportunities, and whole school events. Through a research to practice lens, this session will bring together a diverse group of presenters who will speak to correlates of UCS on SEL outcomes, spillover effects of UCS on broader academic outcomes, and professional development to support school staff to intentionally target SEL skills in UCS activities.
