What are the dimensions of a basketball court in the Special Olympics?

The official rules don't specify but they do say that the 3-on-3 half-court game should be played on half of a regulation court. I would assume that 5-on-5 is on a full court. The basket may also be 8 feet if it is a junior competition. The official rules don't specify but they do say that the 3-on-3 half-court game should be played on half of a regulation court.
