Special Programs/Inclusion

Inclusion After School (Ages 5-12)

The Special Programs/Inclusion unit now offers inclusion after school services, intersession and fun days opportunities for children ages 5-12 through providing an inclusion specialist or sign language interpreter during intersession hours. Inclusion is when everyone, children and adults, with and without disabilities, participate side by side in recreation programs and events. Inclusion services are available at all recreation centers.

Discover After School Program (Ages 5-21)
