The practical details

What this is, in plain language
FVSRA coordinates modifications — like adaptive equipment, extra staff support, or staff training — so disabled children and adults, including autistic children, can join regular recreation programmes run by its member park districts, at no extra cost beyond the normal programme fee.
Getting started
A family requests inclusion services when registering for a programme at their park district or recreation department (on the registration form, verbally, or by email). The Member Agency then forwards the request to FVSRA's Inclusion Team, which schedules a roughly 45-minute phone intake assessment to determine what support the child needs.

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.
- Fox Valley Special Recreation Association (FVSRA) is a joint extension of the Batavia, Fox Valley, Geneva, Oswegoland, St. Charles and Sugar Grove park districts and the South Elgin Parks & Recreation Department, running therapeutic recreation for disabled children and adults across the region since 1976.
- It runs over 600 programmes a year spanning adapted sports, Special Olympics training, Paralympics training and a summer day camp.
- When a resident enrols in a regular programme at one of its seven member park districts, FVSRA provides inclusion support at no additional cost — the participant only pays the regular programme fee. Modifications can include activity modification, adaptive equipment, additional staff support, sign-language interpreters, staff training, and support plans for behaviour, diabetes or seizure disorders.
- Its dedicated Inclusion Team completes an intake assessment (about 45 minutes, over the phone) within about a week of a request, and typically takes about two more weeks to coordinate the modifications needed; inclusion services must be requested again each time a family registers for a new programme.
