What this is, in plain language

Community-based recreation and inclusion programmes — adaptive sports, Special Olympics, camps, social clubs and more — for disabled children, teens and adults across nine DuPage-area communities including Naperville, run as a joint park-district association since 1976.

Getting started

New families fill out a New Participant Form (from the Schedules & Forms page); WDSRA's Outreach staff then call to help place your child, followed by online account setup and required ePACT medical and emergency information before your child can start a 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.

  • Western DuPage Special Recreation Association (WDSRA), established in 1976, runs community-based recreation and inclusion services for disabled children, teens and adults across nine partner communities including Naperville.
  • Programming spans competitive and recreational athletics, Special Olympics, adaptive sports (Synergy Adaptive Athletics), music, dance, art, theatre, social clubs, camps and trips.
  • As a cooperative extension of each community's park district, Naperville Park District directs residents toward WDSRA for inclusion support within its own programmes.
  • Registration for WDSRA's seasonal programmes is lottery-based, with residents given priority over non-residents; new families start with a New Participant Form, followed by an Outreach call and online account setup.
  • Its Synergy Adaptive Athletics programme (for physical or visual disabilities) invites newcomers to contact its Athletics Manager to arrange a try-it session before registering.
  • Financial scholarships are available for participants who need assistance, funded in part through grants.
