Vermont Business Magazine Special Olympics Vermont (SOVT) has partnered with the University of Vermont’s Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program to create a mutually impactful health program involving SOVT athletes and UVM DPT students. The Triple Combine Fitness Challenge is a 10-week at-home fitness competition for Special Olympics athletes across the state of Vermont. As part of SOVT’s Healthy Athletes initiative, athletes were given the option to work with a UVM DPT student throughout the challenge via Zoom.
Over 100 athletes are participating in the Triple Combine Fitness Challenge, and 40 are paired with UVM DPT students. The partnership allows Special Olympics athletes to stay active and compete, while receiving virtual health assessments from physical therapy students. UVM students in turn practice telemedicine skills and gain an increased understanding of people with intellectual disabilities.
