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?

N/A

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

N/A

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

N/A

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

N/A

Comments/additional information about registration and needs assessment:

The facility staff does not run programs but the facility hosts them and they are conducted by independent contractors. There are no registration forms. Patrons pay for specialty classes in person, on the spot, at the check-in/registration desk. The gym does not turn anyone away from structured class activities based on disabilities. They allow anyone to sign up for their hosted structured classes and leave it to the instructors to modify activities and or equipment when needed for patrons. The winter season spin instructor is an adaptive sports specialist, who arrives early before each class to do individual bike fits for every participant to accommodate any adaptations the participants need.

Supports available

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

N/A

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

N/A

Do peers help provide assistance with inclusion, when needed?

N/A

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

N/A

Is a quiet area available for calming or relaxation needs?

N/A

If yes, describe quiet area:

The multipurpose aerobics room is a calmer space than the rest of the gym but not a completely closed off area

Comments/additional information about supports:

The instructors who teach the classes at the gym are contractors. The facility is just a host location, its staff do not run the activities. The Soldier Recovery Unit instructors bring additional staff during their stretch class to aid the instructor with adaptations in real time so the instructor does not have to stop class each time someone needs a specific modification. Their stretch class uses the multipurpose activity room as it is a calmer space.

Yes

If yes, typical modifications provided:

Activity space
Length of activity

Do activities allow structured time for socialization between participants?

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

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

Yes

Comments/additional information about activity accommodations:

The facility and staff have helped with accommodations in the spin classroom for inclusivity. See the activity sheet checklist for Spin Classroom for more details.

Specialized programs or services

: Any patron with a valid military ID is welcome to participate in any of the hosted activities and facility offerings.
