Inclusive Programs Through CUSR CUSR and its member park districts believe that all individuals should be provided with leisure opportunities that allow for performance at their highest level of ability. We understand that not every person who has a special need desires CUSR programming. In cooperation with the Champaign Park District and the Urbana Park District, CUSR staff will be happy to assist and advise any resident who is interested in participating in local park district programs. CUSR will provide the type of support deemed nec-essary for successful participation. Support may include training with the park district staff members, consultation with the individual and the individual’s family members, and the assistance of a support staff member. CUSR provides all inclusion services at no cost to the individual. For more information, please contact CUSR.

Program History CUSR is an intergovernmental cooperative made up of the Champaign and Urbana Park Districts, founded in 1985. CUSR provides year-round leisure and recreation opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. Our mission is to enhance participants’ abilities in enjoyable recreational, leisure, and social settings. CUSR participants explore new areas of interest, make new acquaintances, and learn lifetime leisure skills. Our services include inclusive and cooperative programs, special events, after school programs, overnights, trips, Special Olympics, summer day camps, and much more.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) CUSR complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which prohibits discrimination on the basis of a disability. CUSR will make reasonable accommodations in recreation programs to enable participation by an individual with a disability who meets essential eligibility requirements. The recreation programs offered by CUSR will be available in the most integrated setting appropriate for each individual. If you have any questions regarding the ADA, or believe you have been unfairly discriminated against by CUSR, please contact Caitlin Hitzeman at 217-239-1152.

OUR MISSION To provide quality recreational programs and services for Champaign-Urbana residents with disabilities.

OUR VISION To create a diverse, dynamic, and inclusive community that provides opportunities for people of all abilities.

INVITE US TO SPEAK CUSR staff members are knowledgeable in many disability-related issues and topics. Let us talk to your group about the Americans with Disabilities Act, integration, and the future of special recreation. An overview of CUSR’s mission, trends in recreation, and many other topics are available to you with a simple phone call. Call the CUSR office at 217-239-1152 to schedule.

CUSR does not prorate for late registration. Exceptions may be made for people who are new to the community.

NON-RESIDENT POLICY

PAYMENT

To ensure more individuals have access to the CUSR programs of their choice, there is a new policy for all those non-residents whom do not pay taxes into Champaign or Urbana Park District. Non-residents now have the option to pay $50 for a year’s privilege to register at resident rate. This charge is yearly starting from the time initially paid. This fee does not include access to scholarships, those are reserved for tax-paying residents of the Champaign and Urbana Park District.

CTRS-Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist The CUSR full-time program staff are all Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists. This certification demonstrates that each of these individuals, through education, experience, and passing a knowledge-based examination, has met the minimum requirements for practice in therapeutic recreation. The national exam for Therapeutic Recreation Specialists is based on knowledge from the National Job Analysis Study for Therapeutic Recreation which defines the important skills and knowledge necessary for minimum competency in the therapeutic recreation practice.

CUSR employs experienced professionals who understand the level of skill, both physical and mental, needed to participate fully and safely in the programs they plan.

CUSR Transportation PolicyOur door–to–door routes need to have a minimum of two registrants to run. If a route is canceled, a phone call will be made to the participant and their caregiver, and a full refund will be issued to the participant’s account.

Therefore, CUSR reserves the right to determine if a program is suitable for an individual. Staff may serve as a resource to suggest alternate programming.

Medication At times, participants may require assistance taking medication during programs. If the participant is unable to self-medicate or take the medication prior to or after the program, CUSR requires additional paperwork, and pre-packaged medication must be delivered to our office prior to the program.

All residents of Champaign-Urbana are important to us! If you are new to the area, Champaign-Urbana Special Recreation invites you to come discover the programs and events for you and your family. Throughout the year, we provide a large variety of educational, social, recreational, and sports activities for all ages and abilities. To learn more about what we have to offer, call 217-239-1152 and we will be happy to explain any program or service.

CUSR continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the partic-ipants’ safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors registering for the CUSR programs/activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities/ programs. You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way, or recently suffered illness, injury, or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity.

Warning of risk Recreational activities/programs are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity/program. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, participants must understand that certain risks, dangers and injuries due to inclement weather, slipping, falling, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inad-equate supervision, instruction or officiating, and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities/programs exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for CUSR to guarantee absolute safety.

Instructions for Completing the Application for ParticipationThe Application for Participation (App) must be filled in completely. Apps with blank sections or attachments (exception: let-ter from State Office of Guardianship, 2a below) will not be accepted.

This App is valid for 2 years from the date of the examination date, regardless of the parent/guardian/Entrant signature date.

Parent/guardian and doctor signatures must be original and both original signatures must be on the same App form. Faxedsignatures, phone consents or verbal consents will not be accepted.

If Entrant was listed on the Sex Offender Public Registry or the Child Murder and Violent Offender Against Youth Registrybut has since been removed, contact the Special Olympics Illinois office for instructions before submitting this application.

ATHLETE INFORMATION AND HEALTH INSURANCE & EMERGENCY INFORMATION1. The first two sections must be filled in completely. The ethnicity information is requested to assist in the organizational outreachefforts.

PARENT AND/OR GUARDIAN AUTHORIZATION AND MEDIA RELEASE2. The Parent or Legal Guardian must read, sign and date the Parent/Guardian Authorization and Media Release.

a. The section must be signed and dated as printed. Deletions or alterations to the section will result in an invalid App.(Exception: Deletion of the last paragraph regarding medical treatment and attachment of a letter of explanation and 24-hour emer-gency telephone numbers from the State Office of Guardianship. As of January 1, 1987, the letter of explanation must beattached.)

b. Only one of the two signature blocks must be completed. Special Olympics Illinois works under the understanding that thissection may be signed by either:

The (biological or adoptive) parent unless the athlete has been designated a ward of the state;OR

The legal guardian; this person must be legally assigned for the individual;OR

The athlete if he/she is over the age of 18 and has not been designated as needing and having been assigned a legal guardian.A witness signature is necessary if the athlete’s signature is unrecognizable (for example, if the athlete’s signature is an “X.”)

MEDICAL CLEARANCE3. The Medical Clearance section must be completed, signed and dated by a medical practitioner licensed to administer physicalexaminations by the state in which he/she practices. As of September 1, 1990, the Special Olympics Illinois Application forParticipation is the only Medical Clearance form which will be accepted as valid by Special Olympics Illinois.

This person, by signing the Medical Clearance, is stating that the athlete is in good health and can safely participate in SpecialOlympics sports training and competition. It is strongly suggested that the person administering the physical examination possess thefollowing:

Background and preparation in giving sports physical examinations.Qualifications to administer examinations that would not compromise his/her area of specialty.

AFTER COMPLETING THE APPLICATION ...4. Send the original copy of the Application for Participation to the Area Director who will send the App to the Special OlympicsIllinois Chapter office. The Chapter office will validate the Application for Participation and send a copy of the App with anapproved stamp back to the SOAD (Special Olympics Athletic Director). An Application for Participation will not be validated untilall information is correct and completed on the approved form.

5. Special Olympics Illinois requires that all Applications for Participation be presented prior to and no later than the establishedMedical App deadline of a Chapter championship level event (Winter Games, State Basketball Tournament, Summer Games,Outdoor Sports Festival, Fall Games, Floor Hockey or State Bowling Tournament). All Apps for the event in question must be validthroughout the completion of that Chapter competition.

Applications for Participation for athletes participating in District Tournaments and Sectional Tournaments must be received beforethe entry deadline or with registration materials.

Applications not on file or in receipt by the specified deadline will not be accepted.

Late Pick-Up PolicyIn order to be fair to our participants and program leaders, CUSR has enacted a late pick-up policy. The first time a participant is not picked up within a 5 minute grace period, a written warning will be handed out. For each minute following the grace period, a fee of $1/per minute will be charged to the parent or guardian. Registration for other programs will not be accepted until all outstanding late fees are paid. Thank you for helping us to respect others through punctual pick-ups.

Satisfaction GuaranteedCUSR constantly strives to provide participants with high quality recreation programs, activities, and events. To encourage first-time participation, as well as repeat participation, CUSR has a refund policy highlighted by a satisfaction guarantee. This special refund policy provides us with timely feedback about dissatisfaction regarding our services. If you are not completely satisfied, tell us, and we will either invite you to repeat the class at no charge, allow you a credit that can be applied to another program, or issue you a refund. A refund will be granted if you were dissatisfied with the experience due to circumstances under CUSR’s control. If you are not satisfied, we kindly ask you to give us your input or ideas for improvement. Requests for the above mentioned options must be made before the midpoint of the program or within two weeks of a single meeting activity. All refund requests must be submitted on the Satisfaction Refund Request form and turned into CUSR. A $5 service charge will be deducted from all refunds. Satisfaction Guarantee does not apply to trips and special events with prepaid admissions and tickets.

Program Cancellation PolicyAll registration cancellations must be made at least one week prior to the start of the program in order to receive a full refund. For programs with cancellation dates listed, registration must be canceled no later than the specified date to receive a full refund. Any program cancellations after the one week deadline will receive NO refund. A $5 service charge will be deducted from all refunds.

Program ScholarshipsBecause some residents are unable to participate in recreation programs due to economic hardship, CUSR provides a scholarship policy to reduce certain fees and charges. Scholarship applications are not guaranteed and are based on available funds, program registration, or choice of program location. Early applications are given priority. Please apply 3-4 weeks before the program start date. Applications are available at the CUSR office and can be mailed upon request. Need is the primary criteria upon which scholarship applicants are considered. Scholarships are not available for transportation and specifically identified programs. For more information, call 217-239-1152. Payment plans available to all. ALL monies owed must be paid prior to next season registration accepted.

Inclement Weather PolicyIf inclement weather occurs, CUSR may still decide to hold programs. If the weather turns dangerous, CUSR will call participants prior to the start of the program to cancel the program. If you are unsure whether a program will meet due to inclement weather, call CUSR. Missed programs due to weather may be made up the week after the end of the program season. Credit is given for additional cancellations.

CUSR INFORMATION

Extreme Temperature PolicyHot temperatures (for outdoor programs) at program time: 100oF actual temperature; heat index of 110oF or more constitutes canceling program due to unsafe conditions.Cold temperatures (for all programs) at program time: 2oF actual temperature; -30oF or below wind chill constitutes canceling program due to unsafe conditions.

Participant Expectations1. Participants need to wear appropriate attire for

program participation (i.e. for athletic/fitness programs comfortable clothing and tennis shoes must be worn). If you have questions about the type of attire participants should wear for a particular program, please contact our office.

2. Participants need to have clean, dry clothing.3. No bowel/bladder problems upon arrival at the

transportation location or program. (If this is a concern, extra clean clothing, clean-up supplies and Depend garments (or similar items) must be sent with the participant).

4. Participants need to pay attention to body odor and overall appearance (clean hair, face, teeth, hands, etc.). CUSR staff will also be consistent in stressing personal hygiene while participants are in our programs and will not return participants at the end of a program in an unclean manner.

29

Page 30: PROVIDING QUALITY PROGRAMS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH … · 2017. 8. 3. · Jameel Jones DIRECTOR OF RECREATION Jessica DeYoung CTRS ... and sports activities for all ages and abilities

Transportation Policy/Safety Procedures1. Transportation must be requested at least 48

hours prior to the program date. If transportation is requested with less than 48 hours from program date, there is no guarantee transportation will be available. NO transportation request at the time of the program will be accepted.

2. A minimum of two participants must register for transportation in order for it to run.

3. Transportation is provided from YOUR home back to YOUR home. We will not pick up or drop off at any other sites.

4. CUSR staff will wait a maximum of 5 minutes past your pickup time due to a demanding van schedule. If you miss your pickup time, we will not return to pick you up. It is your responsibility to find transportation to the program if you miss your pickup time.

5. CUSR transports in-district participants only. 6. Transportation will only be provided for those who

sign up and pay for the service at the beginning of the program. We will not provide transportation for anyone mid-season that is not on the transportation roster at the beginning of the program.

7. Persons unable to be in a house alone should have someone meet the van at the designated time of return.

8. If needed, the CUSR driver will assist participants to and from their homes, but driveways and walkways must be clear of debris and obstacles.

9. All passengers must be sitting in seats or wheelchairs with belts securely fastened in the correct manner or the driver will not move the vehicle.

10. CUSR staff is responsible for determining whether or not a participant can be transported safely.

11. Persons riding in Amigo-type wheelchairs or strollers must transfer into a vehicle seat and use a seat belt.

CUSR reserves the right to refuse to transport individuals. These policies have been developed to ensure safety of everyone riding in CUSR vehicles.

DisciplineA caring, positive approach will be used regarding discipline. CUSR reserves the right to dismiss participants. Each situation will be evaluated on its own merit.

Behavior CodeCUSR promotes the concept of “Equal Fun For Everyone” and strives to accomplish this belief through our program goals. However, certain rules are necessary to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. CUSR participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. The CUSR behavior code states that participants shall show respect to all participants and staff, refrain from using foul language, refrain from causing bodily harm, and show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities. Additional policies may be developed for specific programs and camps.

InsuranceIndividual accident liability insurance is not provided by CUSR.

Dishonored ChecksA $25 service charge will be assessed on all checks returned by the bank for any reason.

Emergency ContactsEmergency phone numbers may be used for reasons other than an actual emergency situation. If staff needs to communicate any unforeseen change(s) of plans, transportation schedule adjustments, etc., and neither parent/guarding can be reached, the emergency contact is our only source to call. Please help us reduce any anxiety created with these calls by letting your designated “emergency contact” know that they may be called for other situations. Your assistance is appreciated.

Atlanto-Axial SubluxationIndividuals with Downs Syndrome are at risk of having a condition known as Atlanto-Axial Subluxation. CUSR must have a doctor’s written note on file stating a participant is free of the instability if he/she wishes to participate in programs that may cause undue stress upon the neck. Please take this into consideration when registering and inform staff if the condition is present.
