SPECIAL NEEDS AND INCLUSION SERVICES Palatine Park District does not discriminate against eligible residents for participation in programs on the basis of a disabling condition.

In addition to the programs listed in the program catalog, the Park District provides specialized services for people with disabilities through NWSRA (see page 17 for more information). Note: When registering, the parent of the individual should note on the registration form if an NWSRA aide is needed in order for the individual to successfully enjoy the program.
