During program registration in RecTrac, select “Yes” when asked:

"We’re committed to making our programs accessible to everyone. Do you require any modifications or accommodations due to a disability or other accessibility need? If you select Yes, you’ll receive a link to our Accommodation Form via email. To best support you, please complete the Accommodation Form at least two weeks before the program begins; otherwise, we may not be able to ensure accommodations are available."

To complete the process, follow these steps:

• Complete and submit the Accommodation Request Form. The Inclusion Services Team will review your request to determine the best way to support participation.
• If additional information is needed, a staff member may contact you by phone or email.
• Once approved, an Accommodation Plan is created and shared only with the staff directly supporting the participant.

Observe the program first-hand and ask yourself…

• If school-aged, do your child’s current classroom activities or goals prepare them for an inclusive recreation experience? 
• Has the individual shown an interest in the program activity or subject matter? 
• Are they comfortable and able to function appropriately, with or without assistance, in inclusive environments (malls, restaurants, parks, etc.)
• Will an accommodation give the participant adequate support to fully participate in a general recreation program without disruption to others? 

Yes.  Anyone who registers for a program, regardless of residency status, can receive reasonable accommodations. 

No, inclusion services are a free service to the community.

• Direct personal care, such as support from a one-to-one aide.
• Bathroom or personal care assistance, including entering stalls or helping with toileting or hygiene.
• Feeding support, such as hand-over-hand assistance or feeding by mouth or tube.
• Mobility or transfer assistance, such as physically lifting or moving participants between locations or equipment.
• Provision of personal or specialized equipment, such as wheelchairs, communication devices, or other individually prescribed items. Families are welcome to provide these.
• Modifications to program rules or safety regulations established for participant safety.

Yes, your family can provide their own aid. They must complete a personal aide application and clear a background check before the start of the program. Please contact Sarah Gamsey or Laura Morton for background check information.
