A New Chapter Through Roller Skating

Lei Cao and Yu Chen

A chapter in Special Olympics Oral History Volume 4, 2025, pp 79-96 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This is an interview with Guoqi Xu and her stepparents in Shanghai with a focus on her story. She was an athlete leader of Special Olympics and a champion through hard working and participation in different sports activities. As an orphan, the love and great efforts of her foster family changed her life and inspired her to achieve great success in Special Olympics games. As the interview details her continuous pursuit of an associate degree despite the negative experience in early regular education and a job she loves, her story reveals true barriers to the capacity building of persons with intellectual and development disabilities and direction for change.
