Special Olympics is dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) - but what is ID? Intellectual disability is the most common developmental disability. Approximately 6.5 million people in the United States have an intellectual disability. Approximately 1-3 percent of the global population has an intellectual disability—as many as 200 million people. Intellectual disability (or ID) is a term used when a person has certain limitations in cognitive functioning and skills, including conceptual, social and practical skills, such as language, social and self-care skills. These limitations can cause a person to develop and learn more slowly or differently than a typically developing person. Intellectual disability can happen any time before a person turns 22 years old, even before birth. At the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, our mission is to create an inclusive event celebrates ABILITY on and off the field - will you join us?

Recently Mascoma Bank team members participated in a session with The Mars Hill Group about accessibility, disability awareness, and inclusion. While talking about ways that we can include others and be aware of both visible and invisible disabilities, Wealth Advisor Michael Hemingway offered insight from coaching youth sports. Instead of asking players "what do you need?" and potentially putting them on the spot, he started asking "how can I help you be your best?" It's a question that applies to everyone, so it's inclusive and creates a safe environment in which people can share.
