Inclusion Support Program

Recreation Inclusion Support Program The City of Oshawa is dedicated to providing accessible and inclusive recreation opportunities for participants of all abilities.

i

1:1 or 1:2 support can be requested for those participants who benefit from additional support to be successful in a typical recreation program. Requests are fulfilled in order of request and based on the availability of appropriate inclusion staff. Support is not guaranteed. Participants may provide their own support staff to assist if desired.

How do I know if inclusion support is required? Inclusion support may be beneficial if the participant: • receives additional support at school • receives support at home for basic care • engages in behaviour that could affect the safety of themselves or others • is associated with a support agency

Participant information prior to start of programs: To promote success, all participants that access inclusion services are required to complete and return the following forms which can be found at Oshawa.ca/InclusionServices or by request from any recreation facility. • Confidential Participant Information • Consent to Care (if required) • Outside Support Worker Release (if required) • Medication Administration Request (if required) • Consent for Assistance in Administering an Epi-Pen (if required)

Requesting Inclusion Support For inclusion support, register for your summer program of choice and the following Inclusion Support Code: 30134. The Inclusion Coordinator will confirm if the request for inclusion support has been fulfilled.
