MOTOR
ACTIVITIES
TRAINING
PROGRAM
(MATP)
The Special Olympics Motor Activity
Training Program is designed to
prepare athletes with severe or
profound intellectual disabilities,
including athletes with significant
physical disabilities, for sport-
specific activities appropriate for
their abilities. With adaptation of
equipment along with assistive
technology (switches) even very
limited movements can allow athletes
of different abilities to be included in
the same event. As a unique sport-
based program, the Motor Activity
Training Program does not exclude
any athlete.
