VISION STATEMENT Opening a world of untapped

potential and a lifetime of possibilities

WELCOME TO WDSRA!WDSRA is THE place for engaging community-based social & recreational programs for individuals of all ages with special needs. Our expert staff is dedicated to making sure every experience is a positive one.

Our WDSRA Programs are designed similar to traditional park district programs. There is something for every interest including: competitive and recreational athletics, Special Olympics, adaptive sports, music, dance, art, theater, social clubs, camps, trips, special events and more!

Through Inclusion Services, we offer assistance to any individual with a disability who registers for a park district program from any of our member districts. Assistance varies depending on the needs of the individual and can range from adapting materials to sending support staff. There is no additional cost for participants to receive inclusion services.

Welcome! WDSRA wants you to know that Outreach can make your transition to our programs as effortless as possible. Staff focuses on welcoming new families, answering questions, navigating forms and processes, and helps recommend appropriate programming for your loved one. In outreach, we try to get to know your participant and family before starting programs so that WDSRA can serve you better. We can also provide contact information for resources of which your participant may be in need. If you are a new family or participant to WDSRA programs, start by contacting WDSRA at 630-681-0962.

Inclusion Services

WDSRA 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 WDSRA programming. In cooperation with our member districts, WDSRA staff will assist and advise any resident who is interested in participating in a local park district program.

WDSRA will provide the type of support deemed necessary for successful participation in a park district program. Supports may include training with the park district staff members, consultation with the individual and that individual’s family members and the assistance of a support staff member. WDSRA provides all inclusion services at no cost to the individual.

For more information please contact Tammy Kerrins, Maddy Kirui (Naperville & Warrenville) or Stephanie Reeve (Bloomingdale, Carol Stream, Glen Ellyn, Roselle, West Chicago, Wheaton & Winfield) at 630-681-0962.

That gap is filled through the generosity of grantors and donors.

The $100 deposit secures your spot in the program and does not count as your first payment, which is due by December 15th. Your $100 deposit goes toward your total bill. The remainder of the balance should be divided into 10 equal payments: your total bill for the year must be paid in full before you are eligible to register for the new calendar year. Payments can be made by check payable to WDSRA, Visa, MasterCard or online at WDSRA. If you are paying with a Visa or MasterCard please call the WDSRA front office at 630-681-0962. Current monthly payments are due on the 15th of each month. A $10 late fee will be applied to each day of the week of Rec & Roll you attend. At the end of the month, if you have not made your payment, you will be suspended from the program until your payment is up to date and your late fees are paid. Your spot in the program will not be held longer than one month. Participants must submit a WDSRA registration form and a current annual information form.

Behavior Code Western DuPage 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.

Participants, staff, volunteers and parents are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. The following guidelines have been developed to make WDSRA’s programs safe and enjoyable for everyone. Additional rules may be developed for particular programs and athletic leagues as deemed necessary by staff. Staff, participants, volunteers and parents shall:

• show respect to all participants, staff, volunteers and parents

• refrain from using foul language • refrain from causing bodily harm to other participants,

staff, coaches or parents • demonstrate respect for equipment, supplies and

facilities • represent WDSRA in a manner that is consistent with

the goals, objectives and ethics of the association

Discipline A caring and positive discipline approach will be used. WDSRA reserves the right to dismiss a participant, staff, volunteer or parents if it is in the best interest of the association. Each situation will be evaluated on its own merit.

Sports Leagues WDSRA has developed a Sports League Code of Ethics for athletes, coaches and parents which is based on the Character Counts program. The program emphasizes six core ethical values: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. Athletes, coaches and parents may be asked to sign this code to participate in a team sports program.

Special Olympics In order for an athlete to compete in a Special Olympics program a current Special Olympics Medical form must be on file at the WDSRA office. This form is separate from the WDSRA annual form. The Special Olympics Medical form is valid for two years from the date of the doctor’s signature.

WDSRA Policy states an athlete cannot register for a Special Olympic program until you have a current form on file. If you are interested in participating in a Special Olympics program please contact the WDSRA office for

a form, use the form from this brochure on page 21 or download a form from our website at www.wdsra.com.

Parents and athletes are responsible for returning the completed form to the WDSRA office before you register. The form must have original signatures of both the doctor and parent/guardian.

The tournament fee must be pre-paid prior to participation in the tournament. The fee is nonrefundable. Any athlete not scratching prior to the scratch deadline will be responsible for paying additional scratch fees assessed by Special Olympics.

Atlanto-Axial Subluxations (ASC) Individuals who have Down Syndrome have a high risk of having ASC. For the safety of WDSRA participants with Down Syndrome, a doctor’s note proving they have been cleared of this condition by an x-ray is required to participate in programs that include swimming, diving, gymnastics, tumbling, alpine skiing, soccer, exercise or any program that could potentially injure the neck area. Participants that have ASC and are in these programs may have limited participation.

Annual Information Form WDSRA requires all participants to complete an annual information form prior to participation. This form expires every year on December 31. The form provides us with valuable information which enables us to offer programs that are safe and appropriate for your needs. If you are new to WDSRA programs or do not currently have an annual form on file, please contact our office and request one. If the agency receives a registration form that does not have a current annual, we will send you one to complete and return.

New Participant Intake WDSRA requires all new participants to complete an intake with the Outreach Manager prior to attending their first program. The intake allows the agency to get to know the participant and their individual needs better. This additional information provides WDSRA staff the opportunity to properly staff programs and provide an environment that will be successful and enjoyable to the participant. If you are new to the programs and have not done an intake please contact April Prescott at 630-681-0962. For safety reasons, an individual without current annual information and intake forms on file will not be permitted to participate in WDSRA programs.

SPECIAL INFORMATION

Refund Policies Refunds for all programs may be obtained up to two weeks prior to the first class date. A $5 fee will be charged for each program dropped at the request of the parent/participant. A house credit will be issued for refunds less than $10. Refunds for special events may be obtained up to two weeks prior unless tickets or contracted services have been purchased. All refunds will be issued in check form.

Out of District Policies Families living outside a WDSRA Park District member district and belong to a neighboring SRA are welcome to register in WDSRA program during the out of district registration time frame. This would apply to NEDSRA, FVSRA, NWSRA, and SEASPAR residents.

If you live within a community with a Park District that does not belong to a Special Recreation Association a 50% fee will be accessed per program .

If you live in a community without a Park District or an unincorporated area that falls outside of the Park District boundaries, a 50% fee will be assessed per program. An example of this would be Wayne residents and some parts of West Chicago.

Program Policies When arriving at/departing from a program, parents are asked to check in with the staff person in charge of the program before leaving your child. WDSRA staff are not responsible for supervision of participants who arrive prior to the start of the program. Also, if a participant is to be picked up by an unfamiliar guardian, neighbor, babysitter, etc. the parents are asked to notify the WDSRA staff person in charge of the program prior to the occurrence.

To provide for safe and meaningful learning experiences, a 1:3 staff-to-participant ratio is maintained for children’s activities, a 1:4 ratio for teen activities, and a 1:6 ratio is maintained for adult activities. Some programs may have a higher ratio, depending on individual needs. When children of various ability/age levels are enrolled in the same program, WDSRA will group them according to their abilities.

Many of WDSRA’s programs are open to sibling participation. Look for any program that states “siblings” under the “who.” Siblings may also register for any special event, but are required to wait until after the registration deadline.

If a program closes due to large enrollment, a paid waiting list of those interested will be kept. If space does not open in the program, your payment will be automatically refunded.

A class may be cancelled if enrollment is less than four participants for children’s programs and five participants for adult programs, unless otherwise noted.

WDSRA requires a minimum of 3 participants at a pick-up location. Transportation will be cancelled if the minimum is not met. You will be notified if this occurs for any program. If parents wish for their son or daughter to walk home from a program, please send a signed and dated notice attached to the registration form, or mail the written notification to the WDSRA office prior to the first day of the program.

If a participant cannot attend a program during the session, he/she cannot send a substitute in his/her place.

On occasion, WDSRA staff may photograph or videotape participants in programs or events. These photos are for WDSRA use only and may be used in publications, brochures, pamphlets, flyers and/or videos.

SPECIAL INFORMATION

WDSRA Annual Scholarships The scholarship request process is intended to allow participants/families who qualify for financial assistance to take part in recreation and leisure opportunities through the use of available funds.

All funds for scholarships are obtained through the WDSRA Foundation’s annual fundraising campaigns. Each year the amount available fluctuates based on the amounts received. Scholarships are only available for residents of the association’s nine member park districts.

Scholarships are awarded to participants who have completed the annual scholarship application and qualify for financial need. Applications are accepted anytime during the year but all applications expire on December 31. Fifty percent of the program fee for three (3) programs per season may be awarded. Payment plans may be arranged if needed. For more specific guidelines regarding scholarships, please visit our website at www.wdsra.com and go to the links tab for WDSRA forms or contact the WDSRA office.

Late Pick-Up Policy In order to be fair to our participants and program leaders, WDSRA has enacted a late pick-up policy and we would appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Many of our programs have more than one pick-up location and if one person is late, it may disturb the schedule of others who are being picked up at another location. In addition, many of the WDSRA program leaders have responsibilities after everyone is picked up. We request that you double-check the pick-up time and be prompt.

Dietary Restrictions Due to the amount and various types of dietary needs, WDSRA will only provide an alternative option for meals when the program is preparing/making their own food, If the program is attending a special event or eating at a restaurant in the community, the family must look ahead at the menu and relay the participant’s order to the head instructor upon arrival.

You may be asked to send or make appropriate accommodations for your participant on occasion.
