Our Mission
To provide quality recreational programs and
services for Champaign-Urbana residents with
disabilities.
Our Vision
CUSR exists to ensure that people with
disabilities in our community have access to a full
range of recreational services.
We create equal access to recreation, which
is integral to a higher quality of life. We create
awareness and advocate acceptance of people
with disabilities so they can more fully participate
in recreation and all aspects of society.
Invite Us To Speak
CUSR staff members are knowledgable 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 set up a meeting.
We are proud to introduce our
NEW & IMPROVED website!
Visit cuspecialrecreation.com for timely information
on programs and events, easy form download, fun
photo galleries, and to register for programs! That’s
right, online registration is now available from any
device with the internet. Check it out today!
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 necessary
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,
that was 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 the CUSR Manager at 217-239-1152.

All residents of Champaign-Urbana are important to
us! If you are new to the area, Champaign Urbana
Special Recreation invites you to come in and find
out what we have going on 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, give us a call at 217-239-1152 and
we will be happy to explain any program or service.
As a potential program participant, we would like to
meet with you and your family!
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.
Certified Therapeutic
Recreation Specialist (CTRS)
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. 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.
CUSR Transportation Policy
Our door–to–door routes need to have a
minimum of 2 registrants to run. If a route is
cancelled, a phone call will be made to the
participant and their caregiver, and a full refund
will be issued to the participant’s account.
CUSR Cupcake 5K
All Ages
What’s better than a cupcake
with friends? Or a fundraiser
that supports kids and adults
with disabilities who just want
to have fun? Why not have
both! The CUSR Cupcake 5K is
going to be one sweet time! This is a timed, accessible
race ending with a delicious cupcake. Funds raised
will go into CUSR’s scholarship fund, which supports
individuals who need financial assistance to access
CUSR programs and services. Runners, walkers, and
registrants who use a wheelchair are welcome. All
registrants must provide a valid email address in order to
receive crucial pre-race information. Updated information
will also be posted on CUSR’s Facebook page.
The event will go on rain or shine unless the weather

Important information
CUSR is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner
and holds the safety of participants in high regard. CUSR continually strives to reduce such
risks and insists that all participants follow
safety rules and instructions that are designed
to protect the participants’ 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,
inadequate 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.
Waiver and release of all claims and
assumption of risk
Please read this form carefully and be aware
that in signing up and participating in CUSR
programs/activities, you will be expressly assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving
and releasing all claims for injuries, damages or
loss which you or your minor child/ward might
sustain as a result of participating in any and all
activities connected with and associated with
said programs/activities (including transportation
services/vehicle operation, when provided).
I recognize and acknowledge that there are
certain risks of physical injury to participants in
these programs/activities, and I voluntarily agree
to assume the full risk of any and all injuries,
damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my
minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of
said participation. I further agree to waive and
relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward
may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as
a result of participating in these program/activities against CUSR and Champaign and Urbana
Park Districts, including their respected officials,
officers, employees, and volunteers (hereinafter
collectively referred as “CUSR”). I do hereby
fully release and forever discharge CUSR from
any and all claims for injuries, damages, or loss
that my minor child/ward or I may have or which
may accrue to me or my minor child/ward and
arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with these programs/activities. I have
read and understand the above important information, warning of risk, assumption of risk and
waiver and release of all claims.
PLEASE SEE FRONT SIDE FOR WAIVER. THE WAIVER MUST BE SIGNED BEFORE YOUR REGISTRATION MAY BE PROCESSED.

Entrant
I, on my own behalf or as the undersigned parent and/or legal guardian of the above named applicant (hereafter referred to as the “Entrant”), hereby request permission for the
Entrant to participate in Special Olympics programs. I acknowledge that Special Olympics will screen all entrants using the Sex Offender Public Registry and the Child Murder and
Violent Offender Against Youth Registry and understand that entrants listed on either Registry will be denied participation. I affirm that this Entrant has never been on said Registries
or, if Entrant was listed on either Registry but has since been removed, I will contact Special Olympics Illinois for instructions before submitting this application.
I represent and warrant to you that the Entrant is physically and mentally able to participate in Special Olympics, and I submit herewith a subscribed medical certificate. I understand that
if the athlete has Down Syndrome, he/she cannot participate in sports or events which, by their nature result in hyper-extension, radical flexion or direct pressure on the neck or upper
spine unless a full radiological examination establishes the absence of Atlantoaxial Instability. I am aware that the sports and events for which this radiological examination is required
are equestrian sports, artistic gymnastics, diving, pentathlon, high jump, alpine skiing, soccer, soccer skills, powerlifting squat and butterfly stroke and diving starts in swimming.
On behalf of the Entrant and myself, I acknowledge that the Entrant will be using facilities at his/her own risk and I, on my own behalf, herby release, discharge and indemnify
Special Olympics from all liability for injury to person or damage to property of myself and Entrant.
In permitting the Entrant to participate, I am specifically granting permission to Special Olympics Illinois to use the likeness, voice and words of the Entrant in television, radio, films,
newspapers, magazines and other media, and in any form not heretofore described, for the purpose of advertising or communicating the purposes and activities of Special
Olympics and in appealing for funds to support such activities. I understand that by signing below I consent for the Entrant to participate in the Special Olympics Healthy Athletes
Program that provides individual screening assessments of health status and health care needs. The Entrant has no obligation to participate and I understand the Entrant should
seek his/her own medical advice and assistance and Special Olympics is not responsible for the Entrant’s health.
If I am not personally present at Special Olympics activities in which the Entrant is to compete, so as to be consulted in case of necessity, you are authorized on my behalf and at
my account to take such measures and arrange for such medical and hospital treatment as you may deem advisable for the health and well-being of the Entrant.
I, THE UNDERSIGNED ADULT ENTRANT, have read and fully understand the
I, THE UNDERSIGNED PARENT AND/OR GUARDIAN of the above specified
provisions of the above release and/or have had them explained. I hereby agree that I
Entrant, have read and fully understand the provisions of the above release and have
will be bound thereby and I shall defend Special Olympics Illinois and hold it harmless
explained them to said Entrant. I hereby agree that I and said minor will be bound
from disaffirmation thereof.

APPLICATION FOR PARTICIPATION IN SPECIAL OLYMPICS ILLINOIS
Instructions for Completing the Application for Participation
The Application for Participation (App) must be filled in completely. Apps with blank sections or attachments (exception: letter 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. Faxed
signatures, 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 Registry
but has since been removed, contact the Special Olympics Illinois office for instructions before submitting this application.
ATHLETE INFORMATION AND HEALTH INSURANCE & EMERGENCY INFORMATION
1. The first two sections must be filled in completely. The ethnicity information is requested to assist in the organizational outreach
efforts.
PARENT AND/OR GUARDIAN AUTHORIZATION AND MEDIA RELEASE
2. 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 emergency telephone numbers from the State Office of Guardianship. As of January 1, 1987, the letter of explanation must be
attached.)
b. Only one of the two signature blocks must be completed. Special Olympics Illinois works under the understanding that this
section 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 CLEARANCE
3. The Medical Clearance section must be completed, signed and dated by a medical practitioner licensed to administer physical
examinations by the state in which he/she practices. As of September 1, 1990, the Special Olympics Illinois Application for
Participation 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 Special
Olympics sports training and competition. It is strongly suggested that the person administering the physical examination possess the
following:
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 Olympics
Illinois Chapter office. The Chapter office will validate the Application for Participation and send a copy of the App with an
approved stamp back to the SOAD (Special Olympics Athletic Director). An Application for Participation will not be validated until
all 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 established
Medical 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 valid
throughout the completion of that Chapter competition.
Applications for Participation for athletes participating in District Tournaments and Sectional Tournaments must be received before
the entry deadline or with registration materials.
Applications not on file or in receipt by the specified deadline will not be accepted.
CUSR Information
Satisfaction Guaranteed
If 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 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.
Late Pick-Up Policy
Extreme Temperature Policy
Program Cancellation Policy
All 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 cancelled 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.
Inclement Weather Policy
In 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.
Program Scholarships
Because 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 217239-1152. Payment plans available to all. ALL
monies owed must be paid prior to next season
registration accepted.
Hot temperatures (for outdoor programs) at
program time: 100oF actual temperature; heat index
of 110oF or more constitutes cancelling program
due to unsafe conditions.
Cold temperatures (for all programs) at program
time: 2oF actual temperature; -30oF or below wind
chill constitutes cancelling program due to unsafe
conditions.
Participant Expectations
1. 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.
27
CUSR Information
Discipline
A 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 Code
CUSR 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.
Insurance
Individual accident liability insurance is not
provided by CUSR.
Dishonored Checks
A $25 service charge will be assessed on all
checks returned by the bank for any reason.
Emergency Contacts
Emergency 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 with this is appreciated.
Atlanto-Axial Subluxation
Individuals 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.
28
Transportation
Policy/Safety Procedures
1. 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.
