ADAPTIVE AND THERAPEUTIC RECREATION

WHAT IS INCLUSION?

Inclusion within Frederick County Parks and Recreation means that individuals who have disabilities or need additional support are welcome to participate in all recreation programs and activities alongside their peers without disabilities. Inclusive opportunities are supported through reasonable accommodations, or disability modifications, with support from our AR Team. Reasonable Accommodations are based on each individual’s abilities and needs.

WHAT ARE EXAMPLES OF REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS?

Accommodations that may be available to promote successful participation in programs include: inclusion support staff, use of companions, ASL interpreters, communication visuals, additional training for program staff, adaptive equipment or supplies, activity modifications that do not change the nature of the program or activity, and individualized strategies for success.

WHAT SERVICES ARE NOT PART OF INCLUSION?

Inclusion services do not include the following:

• Being in a separate area or participating in alternate activities for the majority of the program.

• Exception (with or without accommodations) to minimum compliance with program rules and regulations established for safety purposes.

• Hiring, selection, or guaranteed assignment of a specific staff member.

• Individualized therapy within a program.

• Provision and/or purchase of personal custom devices.

WHAT ARE PROGRAM LEVELS AND ESSENTIAL ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA?

FCPR’s AR Team utilizes designated program levels and essential eligibility criteria to ensure the safety of all participants and staff who are part of the program and to allow participants to experience the program to the fullest extent. These levels outline the minimum physical and cognitive skills needed in order to participate.

• Examples of programs that may be considered Level 4 include, but are not limited to: special events, adaptive parent/ child programs, and adaptive open gyms.

IS AN INCLUSIVE RECREATION SETTING THE RIGHT CHOICE AND/OR EXPERIENCE?

Consider 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 or inclusion support staff give the participant adequate support to fully participate in a general recreation program without disruption to others?

WHAT ARE THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL INCLUSION?

The same minimum requirements that apply to a person without a disability also apply to a person with a disability. These include:

• Meeting the program’s age and registration requirements;

• Following the rules of conduct (with or without reasonable accommodations);

• Voluntary participation (Note: Recreation programs and activities are voluntary in nature. Participation will be encouraged and aided, but not forced.);

• Meeting necessary level of participation with or without reasonable accommodations (participant will engage in scheduled activities for the majority of the program time);

• Ability to use a consistent form of communication to indicate basic needs and follow simple directions; and

• Ability to function, with assistance, as a member of a group of 12 or more people.

HOW DO I REQUEST AN ACCOMMODATION?

To request an accommodation:

1. Register for the program, camp, or event.

2. Check “yes” that you are requesting an ADA accommodation.

3. AR staff will contact the parent/guardian to complete a Program Accommodation Form and return the completed form to our Adaptive Recreation Team (AR) at 355 Montevue Lane, Suite 100, Frederick, MD 21702 or via email.

4. Once the Program Accommodation Form is received, AR staff will reach out to the parent/guardian to set up a time to review the request and develop individualized strategies for success.

If you have questions, please contact Nicole Cantwell at 240-357-1453. *Please note, Accommodation Requests must be received at least two weeks prior to the program start date.
