Special Olympics Jamaica is encouraging parents of children with intellectual disabilities to reach out to the organisation to receive support.

Speaking with JIS News, full-time volunteer and member of the Special Olympics Board, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Stephanie Lindsay, said that a support network exists in every parish and is urging parents and caregivers who need assistance to connect with their local coordinators.

She noted that through the Parent Support Programme, parents can take a much-needed break while knowing that their children are safe and cared for.
