Welcome to the 2010 Empowerment Conference!
About the Empowerment Conference
The Special Olympics Delaware Empowerment Conference is a day of empowerment for Special Olympics athletes, ages 13 through adult, and their family members, friends, and/or caregivers. The conference offers interactive sessions for athletes which promote building self-confidence, achieving independence, and using the voice within to speak up and express choices. The family sessions feature professionals who share their experience in helping family members and extended family members on the journey of loving and caring for an adult or a teen approaching adulthood.
