Cedar Road, Homer Glen Chicago Blackhawks Special Hockey players (left to right) John Pellegrini, Mandy Mackowiak and Christopher Donisch play a game Saturday, May 11, at the Lincolnway Special Recreation Association Disability Fair. LAURIE FANELLI/22ND CENTURY MEDIA disability From Page 5 Service Dogs, Chicago Blackhawks Special Hockey, Everyone Cares Camp and many more vendors participated in the 2019 event. The presentation program included Greg Zibricky sharing a day-today blueprint for autism, Trinity Services giving an overview of its offerings, Robert H. Farley speaking about navigating the Illinois disability system and Prudential going over its special needs planning caregivers tool kit. Representatives from LWSRA were also on hand sharing information about upcoming programs – including adaptive basketball camps, weekly park parties and its eightweek summer camp – and spreading the word about two new areas, an on-site sensory room and a soonto-be built universal design playground. LWSRA Executive Director Keith Wallace explained that the sensory room is nearly ready to open. “The sensory room is a long time coming,” he said. “It’s the newest thing in special recreation associations. We have bubble tubes in there. We’ll have aroma therapy. We have a chair that’s really awesome because it vibrates and plays music. We have some fiber optic tubes and we also have the ability to add on to the room,” said Wallace. “It’s for our kids that have more sensory needs to be able to decompress in that space and have a good time if they need it.” The sensory room also features a swing that was included after the LWSRA heard the opinions of parents, staff and the community. “The swing is what the parents wanted and it’s what our rec specialists wanted,” Wallace said. “It’s going to be a great space and we’re really excited about it.” In cooperation with the New Lenox Community Park District, LWSRA will be breaking ground on a universal design playground this summer. Wallace wants the park to be a fun place for all families in the community. “We want to make it a universal design so the playground is for everyone,” Wallace said. “Everybody can get a chance to play, not just people with disabilities, everybody. That’s the concept of a universal design playground.” Whether collaborating on the Disability Fair, creating a place where everyone can feel free to play or offering a variety of inclusive recreation opportunities, the LWSRA listens to its participants, staff and the community to “make people’s lives easier.” “One of our goals is to continue to provide a family feeling by doing things like this Disability Fair and to get people in our building,” Wallace said. “Once they see the good news that we have in this building, then their hearts are open, their love tanks are filled and they want to be a part of it.” More information about being a part of LWSRA as a participant, volunteer or supporter of the LWSR Foundation can be found at www.lwsra.org.
