The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) took
effect in January 1990 and the Carol Stream Park
District complies with the legislation’s purpose
which prohibits discrimination on the basis of
a disability. The Carol Stream Park District will
make reasonable accommodations in recreation
programs to enable participation by an
individual with a disability that meets essential
eligibility requirements for that leisure
program and facilities. The ADA requires that
recreation programs offered by the park district
be available in the most integrated setting
appropriate for each individual. If you have
questions about Carol Stream’s commitment
regarding the ADA policy or you believe you have
been unfairly discriminated against by the park
district, please call the park district at (630) 784-6100.
The Carol Stream Park District and WDSRA
believe each participant should be provided with
leisure services to allow for his/her highest level
of performance. Inclusion Services are designed
to facilitate and ensure opportunities are available
in the least restrictive environment and to make
certain residents are given the opportunity to
choose the services they desire. WDSRA’s goal
is to provide a continuum of services to build
toward an individual’s independence in their
local park district and recreation department.
WDSRA complements the park district sponsored
program by supplying a variety of services to
make the experience successful. WDSRA may
provide a support staff for the entire program
or until the participant is comfortable with the
activity. Inservices, staff training, and resource
networking are also available. If you are interested
in participating in a park district program and
would like WDSRA’s assistance, please contact our
office in advance of the Carol Stream Park District’s
registration deadline. There is no additional charge
for WDSRA’s support.
For more specific information about WDSRA
programs, consult a copy of WDSRA’s program
guide, available at the park district and local
libraries or call WDSRA at681-0962 to be included
on the mailing list.
WDSRA also offers sign language classes for
community members. To register for these
programs, contact WDSRA at (630) 681-0962 or visit www.wdsra.com.
