During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our first priority is the safety of our patrons and staff. Therefore, we are offering online classes only this spring.

Recreational, Social & Vocational

Opportunities for Individuals with Disabilities

Adapted Recreation programs are designed to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities from 12 months to over 60 years of age. Adapted Recreation staff is composed of certified special education teachers, certified paraprofessionals, and volunteers, who are on hand for most programs to assist and encourage the individuals as needed. Any individuals requiring assistance with matters not directly related to the activities and needing assistance with toileting and feeding must bring a chaperone/aide. For information please contact Dianne Dillon at 972-941-7272.
