PARTICIPATION
POLICIES
In order to provide a safe and fun
environment for everyone, it is important that these guidelines be followed
when participating in the various programs.
Appropriate Social Behavior...
Participants will refrain from behavior which would negatively impact
the program (hitting, kicking, inappropriate language, refusing to stay with
the group, etc.). Repeated incidents can lead to being prohibited from
participating in future activities.
Personal Care Needs...
Persons needing assistance with feeding, toileting, or dressing during a
program or class are responsible for making arrangements for this
assistance.
Emergency Contacts...
It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ensure that current
emergency phone numbers are on file with the Adaptive recreation
Program. This is critical in the event of a medical or behavioral
emergency.
DES/DDD
FUNDED PROGRAMS
The City of Peoria Adaptive Recreation
Program is contracted with the Department of Economic Security Division of
Developmental Disabilities to offer a variety of Day Treatment and Training
Services and recently expanded to include respite services. The primary goal of all DD contracted programs is to enhance
social and independent living skills through various recreational
opportunities through community outings and service projects. All
programs are staffed on a 1:3 staff to participant ratio, so a high level of
independence is required.
Saturday R & R
(respite and recreation)
Saturday R & R will be offered monthly and provide a variety of community
outings and recreational opportunities. Participants must use respite hours.
Individuals who participate must have 6 respite hours per day available
through DES/DDD. Contact Support Coordinator to generate authorization for
