Subsequently, after the launch of the new five-year plan of Special Olympics International East Asia Region, and Special Olympics Unified Schools Program has a quantitative and qualitative leap. However, there are also considerable challenges, which are embodied in the areas of insufficient awareness of inclusion and poor science in the evaluation of activities.
