What this is, in plain language

The Therapeutic Recreation and Inclusion Services division runs adaptive recreation for people with disabilities — social clubs, Saturday programmes, family days, summer day camps, American Sign Language programmes and an Inclusion Week at Camp Mather — plus inclusion support so someone can join any other Rec and Park programme.

Getting started

Contact the team by phone (voice or video) or email to ask about programmes, or fill out the accommodations request form to apply for inclusion support in a Rec and Park programme.

Written from what the provider publishes, to save you decoding it. It describes the service; it is not our view of how good it is.

What they say about themselves

Taken from the provider's own website. We have not verified the claims — the parent reviews below are the other half of the picture.

  • Offers specialised adaptive and therapeutic recreation for ages 6 to 22 — social clubs, Saturday programmes, family days and summer day camps — plus inclusion support for any Rec & Park programme and an Inclusion Week at Camp Mather.
  • Requires a free assessment with a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (valid three years) before joining therapeutic recreation or inclusion programmes.
  • Says staff training covers disability awareness and behaviour support and its team includes paraprofessionals and ABA therapists — but participants must be independent with personal care, and staff cannot administer medication.
  • Warns it cannot guarantee 1:1 inclusion support because of staff shortages, and offers 50-100% recreation scholarships to eligible San Francisco residents.
