Section E: Program Practices

Registration and needs assessment

Does the registration or sign-up form ask if additional assistance or accommodations may be needed for participation in the program or activity?

Is the inclusion point of contact (or ADA coordinator) listed on the registration form?

Is there a way to conduct a needs assessment or gather additional information for successful participation, when needed? (e.g., an assessment or interview)

When needed, does staff conduct pre-program meetings or orientations with participants with disabilities, prior to starting a program or activity?

Supports available

Are additional staff or volunteers available to assist in inclusion, when needed?

Yes

Are peer orientations about disability and inclusion available, when needed?

Do peers help provide assistance with inclusion, when needed?

Are positive behavioral supports used in the program or activity, when needed?

Is a quiet area available for calming or relaxation needs?

Comments/additional information about supports:

Staff and volunteers are all not trained on how to support differently-abled people. There are many volunteers that could in theory help with inclusion but have not been taught how.

Activity accommodations

Are activities modified to individual needs, when needed?

Yes

If yes, typical modifications provided:

Length of activity
Rules of activity
Skill level

Do activities allow structured time for socialization between participants?

Yes

Is task/activity analysis used to determine needs? (breaking down activities into steps or parts)

Yes

Can people partially participate in activities, when needed? (e.g., take breaks, do only part of activity)

Yes

Comments/additional information about activity accommodations:

If the program is a hiking program then they would not be able to have only time or separate from the group. If the program is at the center then this time could be provided.

Specialized programs or services

Are specialized/segregated programs for people with disabilities provided?

Notes about program practices

Any additional program practices you noted at the agency that are not listed above that you feel are helpful to people with disabilities and their families:

Disabled people are not kept in mind when creating a program at the center. People with different dietary needs are also not thought of at fall events where food is served.
