PROJECT BACKGROUND

For this project, Social Impact Studio Consulting, LLC supported Special Olympics International, in partnership with Special Olympics Pennsylvania, to conduct an assessment of accessibility, affordability, and quality of the health care system for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

To do so, we conducted background research on publicly available documentation and grey literature, conducted interviews with stakeholders, and conducted a survey with Special Olympics athletes to gather their perspective on the system.

This assessment, using the Missing Billions framework, is part of a larger global report on behalf of the Rosemary Collaboratory, in coordination with 2 additional states and 8 international locations.
