Inclusion Process
The Springfield Park District understands that not every person
with a disability needs to participate in L.E.A.P. programs. If you
feel any programs offered outside of L.E.A.P. through the
Springfield Park District would better meet the needs of your
child, follow these steps for inclusion:
1. Register for the program of choice and check the box on
the registration form that states, “I need a modification
because of a disability to enjoy this programming.” At least
two weeks in advance.
2. Contact Annette Reese at (217) 585-2941 or
[email protected].
3. Through meeting(s), observation, etc., it will be determined
if inclusion in a chosen program would be appropriate and
beneficial, and if an inclusion aide is needed.
4. For any inclusion needs that cannot be met, the park district will issue a full refund.
Please understand we will do our very best to provide an
inclusion aide. However, due to staffing restrictions,
we are unable to guarantee an aide.
