Kendall’s Unified Court Journey

from Minneapolis News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

When Kendall Kuhnau, a 17-year-old with autism, found his voice on the court through Unified Sports, he didn’t just learn to play basketball—he learned to lead, connect, and inspire. Once socially withdrawn, Kendall now dazzles with outlet passes and layups while embodying sportsmanship by helping opponents. His story is part of a transformative program at Watertown-Mayer, growing from 12 kids to over 100, reshaping school culture around inclusion. As Special Olympics USA Games approach, this movement proves that when teams mix abilities, they build bridges that last far beyond the game—changing perceptions, breaking stereotypes, and opening doors to real-world opportunities.
