SRACLC offers nearly 500 recreation programs per year for people of all ages and ability. SRACLC believes in equal opportunity for all and everyone should be allowed to participate at their highest desired level.
SRACLC and their Member Agencies provide inclusion services to individuals with disabilities wishing to participate in the Park District and Village recreation programs at no additional cost to the family. Inclusion services may include, when necessary, staff training, program modifications/adaptations, adapted equipment, additional staff, and program observations.

- You will be contacted by your Recreation Department or Park District to discuss the needs of the participant and get input on the type of support required.
- SRACLC will work with the Park District or Recreation Department to put the necessary inclusion accommodations in place for participation in the desired program(s).
