SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS

As a member Park District of NWSRA, we believe that all individuals should be provided with leisure opportunities that allow for performance at their highest level of ability. Although many people achieve this through participation in an NWSRA program, others may have greater success utilizing inclusion services in a park district activity. To begin, simply register for the program of choice. Please indicate the disability and any modifications for participation on your registration form. NWSRA has a formal inclusion process that is followed for each situation. The NWSRA inclusion staff will provide guidance, training, equipment, resources and/or staff as necessary to ensure success for the person with a disability.

If a participant in your household requires special accommodations to help with successful inclusion please share some information with us.  You can contact the Manager in charge of the program or e-mail registration@bartlettparks.org

Special accommodations might also include allergies, seizures, taking prescribed medication, or requiring inclusion in a program. We always appreciate advance notification (a two week notice is recommended) so staff can prepare and train program staff accordingly to best assist with the accommodation.

Medication

We are committed to the well-being of participants. With proper training and approval, staff are able to dispense certain medications. Please notify the program manager or email registration@bartletparks.org with any information you can provide so we can properly plan for your child’s participation. A two week noticed is recommended. Additional paperwork and/or parent meeting may be required.

Allergies/Managing Food Allergies

The Bartlett Park District is committed to the well-being of participants and providing a safe, fun environment. We cannot guarantee a 100% allergy-free environment, however, we will manage the situation by creating individualized plans, avoidance strategies and emergency measures to minimize the risk of an allergic reaction. Please advise us of any allergies that may impact successful participation in a program by contacting the program manager or emailing registration@bartlettparks.org. A two week notice is recommended.
