ADAPTIVE RECREATION

Adaptive Recreation

Loveland Adaptive Recreation (AR) provides activities and services to individuals in the community who have varying levels of physical, emotional or intellectual abilities. A Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) will work with individuals with disabilities as requested. Services include, but are not limited to, adaptive exercise, fitness orientations, class and registration information, leisure interest search assistance and advocacy to eliminate barriers.

Adaptive Programs

Adaptive programs are for individuals who may have disabilities and need modified support to participate in activities. These programs are open to everyone but are designed to meet the unique needs of individuals with physical, intellectual and/or emotional disabilities.

Modifications

If a modification is required to participate in any recreation program, please indicate the modification needed during the registration process. Adaptive Recreation staff will work with program leaders to determine how to most effectively provide needed modifications for full participation. Inquiries about what type of accommodations are available should be made at least two weeks before the class begins.

Personal Care Attendants

Individuals who are not independent in activities of daily living may participate with a personal care attendant. There is no fee for personal care attendants unless otherwise noted. Attendants need to register separately and note whom they will be assisting. Notify AR staff to coordinate a support plan prior to class start date.

Unified Sport Leagues

Loveland Parks & Recreation offers Unified teams for sports like basketball, soccer and softball. They are teams comprised of players with and without disabilities. These leagues may work with rule additions and changes that allow all players to be supported and make gameplay fair. Unified sports programs promote gross motor coordination, dynamic decision making, inter-player communication, endurance and wellness.
