General Information
WSRA
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
Warren Special Recreation Association provides leisure and recreation
activities for adults and children with disabilities. Enhancing abilities in
enjoyable social settings is a goal of WSRA programs. Participants learn
new skills, practice sports, dance and sing with friends and take
advantage of WSRA’s large variety of programs.
WSRA complies with the ADA and will make reasonable accommodations
to enable people with disabilities to participate in and enjoy recreational
programs. If you have a question about WSRA’s compliance, or feel that
WSRA has discriminated against you, please contact Executive Director
Brenda Zeck at (847) 244-6619.
OFFICE HOURS
RISK MANAGEMENT
WSRA is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Our staff would be glad
to answer your questions. Call them at (847) 244-6619; voice mail will take
your call if they are unavailable. The WSRA fax number is (847) 855-8687.
WSRA is committed to provide recreation programs and services in the
safest possible manner and to keep the safety of all individuals at the
forefront. Participants and parents must realize there is some degree of
risk which is inherent in all recreation activities. In an effort to minimize
exposure to unsafe conditions, WSRA conducts an ongoing risk
management program and strictly enforces that safety procedures be
adhered to by all participants and staff. WSRA does not carry medical or
accident insurance for injuries sustained during programs or services.
Each person registering himself/herself or a dependent in a WSRA program
should review and maintain his/her own insurance coverage. The absence
of any medical insurance coverage does not make WSRA automatically
responsible for the payment of medical expenses.
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS
Residents of Grandwood Park, Gurnee, Warren Township and Wildwood are
considered in-district. Individuals residing outside these boundaries may
attend programs at an increased cost.
BEHAVIOR CODE OF CONDUCT
Although WSRA encourages fun for all of its participants, certain rules are
necessary to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. The Association’s
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 at all times.
Additional policies may be created for specific programs, camps and
integrated programs.
HEALTH POLICY
In the best interest of all participants, it is imperative to keep your child home
if he/she is ill. Should he/she come to a program in such a state, WSRA will
call you to come pick him/her up. Please call the office to inform them of your
child’s absence. Your child needs to be free from fever, vomiting and/or
diarrhea for 24-hours prior to returning to WSRA programs. This is important
to staff our programs and avoid unnecessary stops on vehicle routes.
INTEGRATED SERVICES
WSRA and its member districts believe that all participants should be
provided with leisure opportunities that allow for performance at their
highest level of ability. WSRA therefore offers an integration service to
provide a smooth transition from WSRA to a member Park District/
Township program. If you are interested in a Park District/Township
program and desire integration assistance, contact the WSRA office at
(847) 244-6619. There is no extra charge for this service, only the program fee.
PACE
Pace, in cooperation with Warren Township, offers Dial-A-Ride service in
Warren Township to senior citizens and persons with disabilities. Call
800-201-6446 for more information.
MEDICATION
TDD USERS
Medication that a participant requires during a program must be given to
a staff member for secure storage prior to the start of the program.
Medication must be properly and clearly labeled with the participant’s
name, name of medication, dosage and time of administration. The
“Permission to Dispense Medication” waiver and “Medication Dispensing
Information” form must be completed by parents or guardians in advance
of the program. Call the WSRA office if you need these forms.
If you use a Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) and would like
to communicate over the telephone line to a non-user, call 7-1-1 or (800)
526-0844. The Illinois Relay Center will provide operator assistance to
relay telephone conversations between persons who use a TDD and
persons who use a standard telephone. A person using a standard phone,
wishing to call a person with TDD, can call 7-1-1 or (800) 526-0857 for
assistance. Users of the relay service pay for the call as though they
dial directly. This relay service is made possible through the Illinois
Telecommunications Access Corporation.
ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM
WSRA requires all participants to complete an Annual Information Form
(AIF). The form provides WSRA with valuable information to conduct its
activities in the safest possible manner and to meet the basic needs of
participants. If you are new to WSRA, do not have a current form on file, or
need to update information (change in medication, behavior, etc.), please
call the office. All information will be kept strictly confidential and will
enhance successful participation. Thank you for your cooperation. The
form is also available for download on the website and in our brochure.

Transportation may not be available after the registration deadline. WSRA
requires a minimum of three participants when transportation is
provided. An accessible bus is available to transport individuals who use
wheelchairs.
A limited amount of financial assistance through program scholarship is
available for in-district participants who might otherwise be denied the
privilege of being involved with WSRA activities. Requests are reviewed by
the Executive Director, and participants are notified. If you are in need of
financial assistance, please call the WSRA office at (847) 244-6619.
TRANSPORTATION POLICIES
The following procedures will be followed to maintain safe transportation
of WSRA staff and participants.
1. All passengers must comply with WSRA’s Behavior Code of Conduct.

No trays will be attached to wheelchairs during transport. The driver will
not proceed until all seat belts are fastened.
3. WSRA staff will determine whether or not an individual may be
transported safely due to behavior, health or equipment concerns.
If WSRA determines a participant can’t be transported safely, a parent pick
up will be required.
4. WSRA staff will not leave any person unattended after a program unless
there is written permission from the individual’s parent/guardian.
5 All wheelchairs must be in proper working condition. Persons riding in
Amigo type wheelchairs must transfer to a seat and must use a seat
belt.
6. No object or part of the body is to protrude from the vehicle, nor should
any object be thrown from the vehicle at anytime. Windows will be
opened only upon permission from the staff.
7. Upon request, WSRA drivers will assist participants to and from their
homes, but will not enter homes. Driveways and walkways must be
clear of debris and snow/ice.
8. Participants must be ready when the bus arrives. The driver
will wait only a maximum of 10 minutes due to scheduling.
WSRA reserves the right to refuse or discontinue transportation services
to any individual. These policies have been developed to ensure the safety
of everyone riding in Warren Township vehicles. Thank you for your
cooperation.
REGISTRATION INFORMATION POLICIES

CAR SEATS
In compliance with the Illinois Vehicle Code, Child Passenger Protection
Act, WSRA requests that parents provide the agency with a child restraint
system any time we transport a child under 8 years of age in a WSRA
vehicle. This means that parents of children under 8 will need to provide a
car or booster seat for their child for transportation purposes. Children
weighing more than 40 pounds may be transported while wearing a
seatbelt.
REFUND POLICY
Requests for refunds from any program or event must be made five (5)
working days prior to the first day of the program/event. A $5.00 processing

moving, a prorated refund will be issued. A doctor’s notice is required for
illness. If the program/event is canceled by WSRA, those registered will be
notified and will receive a full refund or credit. Refunds cannot be given for
programs/events that require advance purchase of
admission or entrance fees.
