Inclusion
Inclusion services are offered to residents of NSSRA’s 13 partner agencies at no additional cost to the family. Inclusion support may
come in the form of one or more of the following: program observation, staff training, program modifications/adaptations, modified
equipment, and/or an inclusion companion. An inclusion companion’s role is to blend into the program with the partner agency
staff while providing the appropriate amount of support to promote independence and growth in a least restrictive environment. A
companion can support 1-3 participants (depending on their needs).
REQUESTING INCLUSION SERVICES
When registering for a program with one of NSSRA’s partner agencies:
• Mark the accommodation section of the registration form. This can be indicated in the following ways: Special Accommodations,
ADA Information, or Americans with Disabilities Act.
• Once the registration form is submitted, the partner agency will contact the family to discuss the type of inclusion support needed
for the participant.
• The partner agency will provide NSSRA with an inclusion request that contains both program and participant information.
• The family is then contacted by NSSRA to further discuss the needs of the participant and get input on the type of support needed.
• NSSRA will work with the partner agency to put the necessary inclusion accommodations in place for participation in the desired
program(s).
• Communication between NSSRA, partner agency staff, and the family continues throughout the inclusion process.
Inclusion
NSSRA recognizes that some individuals with disabilities would benefit from social opportunities available by participating in
programs offered through their local park district or recreation department. Inclusion provides a choice for individuals of varying
abilities to experience recreation programming within their community. NSSRA and partner agency staff work closely with the
participant and family to provide enriching recreation experiences in a least restrictive environment while maintaining safety and
confidentiality.
REASONS TO REQUEST INCLUSION SUPPORT
• A parent or family member recognizes that a participant would benefit from additional support in a partner agency program.
• The partner agency staff identifies a need for additional support, for safety and programmatic reasons and communicates this
need to the family.

considered valid
• Must be valid from the start of practice through the last

REGISTRATION POLICIES
IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Registration Period and Deadline
NSSRA program registrations are processed on a first come, first
served basis. We advertise the registration period for both the
current and upcoming program season in each seasonal program
guide. Some programs have become so popular that they may
reach their maximum capacity prior to the registration deadline.
We encourage you to register early!
Resident/Non-Resident Policy
If you live in one of NSSRA’s ten partner park districts or
two cities and one village, you are considered a resident.
These include the Park Districts of Deerfield, Glencoe,
Glenview, Highland Park, Kenilworth, Lake Bluff, Northbrook,
Northfield, Wilmette and Winnetka, the Cities of Lake Forest
and Highwood, and the Village of Riverwoods.
Waiting List
If the program you have selected is full, you will be put on the
waiting list and your payment may not be processed. Your
position on the waiting list is based upon when your completed
registration form is received. We will make every effort to
accommodate waiting lists. However, additional openings may
not be available due to facility space, pre-purchased tickets,
transportation, or staffing needs.
Individuals residing outside the NSSRA boundaries (in an
area that does not support NSSRA through tax dollars) must
pay an annual Administrative Fee prior to registering for
any NSSRA program. The Administrative Fee is determined
annually. The Administrative Fee is approximately $2,200.
This fee allows participation in NSSRA programs for one year.
Program and Transportation Fees
Each program and event listed in our program guide is
assigned one code and one fee. If the program offers
optional transportation, a separate code and fee will
be listed. On the registration form (pages 57-58),
registrants should fill in the program name, code and fee. If
transportation is desired, registrants should also complete
the transportation location/codes and fee.
Program Refunds
A refund of the program fee minus 10% will be made only
up to the second session of a program. There will be no
refunds for cancellation after the start of the second session.
Refunds, minus 10% and NSSRA prepaid costs (tickets, staff
costs, etc.), are given for one-time events and social clubs
when participants give NSSRA at least one week advance
notice. When canceling for a medical reason, refunds are
minus NSSRA prepaid costs and NSSRA would require a note
from your doctor.
Trip Refunds
Full refunds will be granted up to the registration deadline.
Refunds of no more than 50% of the fee will be granted up
to four weeks prior to the trip pending pre-paid expenses.
In the event that NSSRA cancels a trip, you will receive a full
refund.
52
Program Guide Availability
Seasonal program guides are mailed to our current mailing
list using first class postage. Please contact our office if you
do not receive your program guide. Program guides are also
available at the NSSRA office, at most of our partner agency
facilities and in NSSRA vehicles. The program guide is also
published on our website prior to the registration period.
Registration forms are processed on a first come, first served
basis. Forms received before the registration open
date will be processed in a random order on Monday,
February 1.
Primary Mailing Address Used for NSSRA Mailing Lists
When a participant’s parents or guardians have multiple
mailing addresses, all of our correspondence is sent to the
address listed on the program registration form. If another
parent or guardian, living at a different address, would like
to receive information from NSSRA, the person who signs
the registration form must submit a written request to the
Superintendent of Recreation. Program and participant
information will also be communicated to the individual
who signs the registration form. Sometimes the person
who signs the registration form and the person who pays
program fees are different. Nevertheless, the person who
signs the registration form is NSSRA’s primary contact.
Participants in need of financial assistance may request a
Reduced Fee Application by contacting the NSSRA Registrar,
or by downloading from our website at
www.nssra.org/forms.
Send in your registration form with the application and
enclose a 15% deposit to reserve a place in the program.
All requests are reviewed by the Executive Director and
you will be notified upon approval. Your deposit will be
deducted from any balance due. Payment plans are also
available. Financial assistance is not awarded to nonresident participants, for cooperative programs, special
events, trips or transportation.
ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM (AIF)
To better serve our participants and their family, it is
necessary for us to have a current AIF on file in our office.
This form contains medical and other information that
NSSRA needs to know in case of an emergency.
If you are new to NSSRA or do not have a 2016 form on file,
please submit your AIF with your registration form. The
current AIF can be found on on our website at
www.nssra.org/forms. If we do not have an AIF on file, you
will not be allowed to register for programs.
SEIZURE INFORMATION FORM (SIF)
If a participant has a seizure disorder, a SIF must be
completed and signed before he or she is allowed to
register for any NSSRA programs. The current SIF can be
found on our website at www.nssra.org/forms. Complete
each category and list any other information necessary
for NSSRA to provide safe and enjoyable activities for the
participant. Please update this form whenever there is a
change in the information and submit it to NSSRA with the
registration form. You will be asked to review and update
this form on an annual basis.
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, NSSRA requires additional paperwork and
pre–packaged medication be delivered to our office prior
to the program. Please contact Safety Coordinator Katie
Kotloski at (847) 509-9400 x6825 or [email protected]
with any questions.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)
NSSRA complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) and will make reasonable accommodations to enable
individuals with disabilities to participate in and enjoy
recreation programs. If you have a question about NSSRA’s
compliance, or feel that NSSRA has discriminated against
you, please call Craig Culp, Executive Director, at NSSRA,
(847) 509-9400 x6820 or [email protected].
GENERAL POLICIES
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
If inclement weather occurs, NSSRA may still decide to hold
programs. If the weather turns dangerous (100 degrees
or higher actual temperature or heat index; 2 degrees or
lower actual temperature, -30 degrees or lower wind chill
or severe snow/ice), NSSRA will call participants prior to the
start of a program to cancel the program. If you are not sure
whether a program will meet due to inclement weather, call
NSSRA. Refunds are issued for cancelled programs.
LATE PICK UP POLICY
If a participant has not been picked up at the scheduled
program end time, the parent/guardian/group home staff
will be contacted. After the ten-minute wait period, if the
participant has not been picked up, emergency contacts will
be called. After ten minutes, a fee may be applied.
53
TRANSPORTATION POLICIES
Program descriptions will indicate if transportation is available. NSSRA provides door-to-door and community location transportation for
select programs.
If you register for a transportation option, please list your choice of pick up AND drop off locations on the registration form where indicated,
using codes provided on page 59. If you would like to use NSSRA as a transportation location and it is not listed as an option,
please contact NSSRA Recreation Specialist Mary Kate Murphy at (847) 509-9400 x6833 or [email protected].
If a participant is registered for transportation and will not need transportation pick up and/or drop off on a particular day(s), please notify
NSSRA by calling the front office at (847) 509-9400. Routes are otherwise unnecessarily delayed.
DOOR-TO-DOOR ROUTES
Door–to–door transportation is for residents only. Door–to–door routes are planned according to the number of participants registered
and their locations, as well as the final destination. With limited vehicles available, it may be necessary for participants to ride in the bus
for up to 1.5 hours. NSSRA staff will assist participants to and from their homes, but driveways and walkways must be clear of debris and
obstacles. Staff will not enter homes. Persons unable to be in a house alone should have someone meet the bus at the designated time
of return. NSSRA cannot wait more than ten minutes due to the demanding transportation schedule. Participants will be picked up and
dropped off in geographical order. If this schedule is inconvenient, please contact NSSRA Recreation Specialist Mary Kate Murphy at
(847) 509-9400 x6833 or [email protected]. We will do our best to accommodate you!
REC N’ ROLL TRANSPORTATION
Transportation to and from NSSRA’s Rec N’ Roll after-school program must be coordinated by the family or guardian. Parents and/or
guardians may drop off participants at the program location or work with the school to coordinate transportation services from school to the
program location. Participants may arrive to the program location as early as 3:00 pm, but no later than 3:45 pm in order for the group to leave
for the outing scheduled. Any participant who does not arrive to the program location by 3:45 pm will be required to meet at the outing location
at a designated time or will be sent home. If the participant will be using transportation from school to NSSRA’s Rec N’ Roll program, the parent/
guardian must notify the participant’s school of the day and time the participant has registered for Rec N’ Roll. NSSRA will follow up with the
participant’s school as listed on the Annual Information Form (AIF) to confirm the registration and location of the after-school program.
LATE PICK UP POLICY
When parents/guardians/group home staff are late picking up a participant, drivers will wait a maximum of ten minutes from the scheduled time.
After the ten-minute wait period, the driver will continue on the route to the next location. Participants/families who do not arrive on time may be
asked to meet at an alternate location. After ten minutes, a fee may be applied.
PICK UP & DROP OFF SAFETY
For the safety of all participants, parents/guardians/group home staff must personally check in with a program leader/driver when dropping off and
picking up a participant. Staff cannot leave a program or other participants to escort an individual to or from a vehicle. Therefore, parents/guardians/group
home staff are asked to park and check in with the program leader during both drop off and pick up for all programs.
PARTICIPANT TRANSPORTATION SAFETY
NSSRA has implemented the following transportation procedures in order to ensure participants’ safety while riding in NSSRA vehicles.
1. All passengers must be sitting in seats or wheelchairs with seat belts securely fastened. The driver will not proceed until all seat belts are
fastened.
2. All wheelchairs must have brakes that are in good working order and can stop the chair from moving.
3. The NSSRA drivers will assist participants to and from their homes, but driveways and walkways must be clear of debris and obstacles.
4. NSSRA drivers are responsible to determine whether or not a participant can be transported safely. If it is determined that it would be
dangerous to transport an individual, the driver may refuse to transport that person.*
5. Persons riding in Amigo-type wheelchairs must transfer into a bus seat and must use a seatbelt.
6. Persons unable to be in the house alone should have someone meet the NSSRA staff at the designated time of return. NSSRA cannot wait
more than ten minutes due to the demanding transportation schedule.
*NSSRA reserves the right to refuse to transport individuals. Please realize that these policies have been developed to ensure the safety of everyone
riding in the NSSRA vehicle. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
A minimum of three participants is needed at each pick up/drop off location. Transportation may not be available for late registrants. Participants
will be notified of any scheduling changes should they occur. When necessary, NSSRA may use SEPTRAN, 303 Taxi, or other contract carriers.
54
The following general information pertains to all overnight
trips.
Eligibility
For all trips lasting longer than three days and two nights,
participants must attend an NSSRA overnight trip prior to
the registration deadline for the desired trip in order for our
therapeutic recreation specialists to assess the individual’s
readiness for the trip. Assessments will be completed at the
end of all trips to determine eligibility for future trips. All
participants are expected to follow scheduled activities.
Housing
Participants will be sharing rooms, and possibly beds, with
peers. If you want your own room or bed, you must call
Recreation Specialist Mary Kate Murphy at
(847) 509-9400 x6833 or [email protected] by the
designated registration deadline to make arrangements.
An additional fee may apply for these arrangements if they
are available. Refer to the specific trip information for more
details regarding housing. NSSRA staff members may not
be present in all rooms. Room assignments will be made at
the staff’s discretion. Participants are expected to stay in their
rooms and be respectful of their roommates.
SAFETY/INSURANCE INFORMATION
NSSRA is committed to conducting its recreation programs
and activities in the safest manner possible and holds
the safety of participants in the highest possible regard.
Participants and parents registering for recreation programs
must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of
injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities.
NSSRA continually strives to reduce such risks and insists
that participants follow all safety rules and instructions which
have been designed to protect the participant’s safety.
Please recognize that NSSRA does not carry medical accident
insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of
such would make program fees prohibitive.
Therefore, each person registering themselves or a family
member for a recreation program/activity should review
their own insurance coverage. It must be noted that the
absence of health insurance coverage does not make NSSRA
automatically responsible for the payment of medical
expenses.
General Trip & Safety
informatioN
GENERAL TRIP INFORMATION
Due to the difficulty and exorbitant cost of obtaining liability
insurance, the agency providing liability coverage for NSSRA
requires the execution of a Waiver and Release. Certain
high risk activities may require an additional waiver prior to
participation.
Please contact Safety Coordinator Katie Kotloski at
(847) 509-9400 x6825 or [email protected] with any
questions.
