Special Olympics Maryland Prince George's County (SOMDPGC) began in 1968 when Robert 'Bob' Janus took a group of our student athletes to Soldier Field in Chicago for the first Special Olympics Games.  We began as a school based Special Olympics Program with our Adapted Physical Education teachers serving as coaches.  Since that time we have grown with a Community Based Section of our program that allows special education students not serviced by an Adapted Physical Education teacher, and graduates, to have access to our Special Olympic Program Events.  Our staff was also instrumental in developing the Motor Activities Training Program for our students with greater needs at our Regional School sites.  We currently run the largest MATP in the world.
