NON-DISCRIMINATION The West Suburban Special Recreation Association (WSSRA) is aware of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability.

A procedure is available to you for the resolution of complaints. WSSRA SKILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS Due to popular demand, we have selected specific programs that will focus on progressive development of specific skills. Each skill will be gradually introduced, based upon the participant’s ability level. At the end of each session, each participant will receive a progress report. WSSRA will keep these reports on file for our use in planning additional programs. In keeping with our overall philosophy, we will stress enjoyment of the program by participants. Recreation for the fun of it remains our number one objective! PARTICIPANT ILLNESS For the protection of all the participants in programs, you/your child must be kept at home or will be sent home if he/she shows any of the following symptoms: ♦ A temperature of over 100.3. ♦ Stomach ache accompanied by diarrhea or vomiting. ♦ Any undiagnosed rash. ♦ ♦ ♦ Sore or discharging eyes or ears. Profuse nasal discharge (green or yellow). Please keep children with active colds home. Have a highly contagious condition such as chicken pox, measles, lice, etc. MEDICATION It is the parent/guardian and participant’s responsibility to inform WSSRA of any medication a participant is taking. This information is very important in case of an emergency. Medication information should be noted on the registration forms, as well as the Annual Information Form. Any changes in medication should be communicated to WSSRA. INSURANCE The Association takes every reasonable precaution to prevent injuries and accidents from occurring.

REVISED LATE PICK-UP/DROP-OFF POLICY In order to be fair to our participants, program staff and drivers, WSSRA has enacted a Late Pick-up/Drop-off Policy. Many of our program staff and drivers need to get to a program immediately after the program your child is in. We ask that you make sure you are on time picking up your child from program, as well as home to greet your child when the WSSRA van drops them off. A $10.00 fee will be charged for every 15 minutes or portion thereof, a participant is picked up late, or a van is delayed, after a 10 minute grace period. A notice will be sent to you indicating the fee being charged to your account. Also, participants must be dropped off on time for programs that are traveling, including over night trips. Vans will not wait more than 5 minutes for participants who are late for the program. Saturday morning programs - Parents must drop off their child by 9:30 AM or call the emergency phone. If the program is traveling, the van will not wait longer than 5 minutes past the program start time.
