Bartlett Park District - Special Needs

NWSRA
The Bartlett Park District is proud to be a member of Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA). Throughout the northwest suburbs, NWSRA is the leader in providing outstanding recreational opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. NWSRA’s team of full-time Therapeutic Recreation professionals and trained part-time staff offer a multitude of year-round programs offerings including sports, camping, social programs and much more. Increased self esteem, physical and social skills development, making friends, and having fun are just a few of the benefits of participating in NWSRA programs! Camps, trips, and special events are also available at various times throughout the year.

Inclusion assistance is provided by NWSRA to those individuals who wish to participate in their home park district program. When registering, the parent of an individual with a disability should inform the park district (and NWSRA, if desired) of any accommodation needed in order for the individual to successfully participate in the program. The park district staff will then contact NWSRA for assistance with the accommodation.

Special Leisure Services Foundation, the fundraising arm of NWSRA, partners with public and private corporations, foundations and individuals to support and promote for children and adults with disabilities. Throughout the year, the organization hosts a variety of fundraising events that help support accessible transportation, general program support, inclusion opportunities, the Kevin T. Kendrigan Memorial Scholarship program and Special Olympics and Paralympics opportunities in the northwest suburbs. For more information, please visit www.nwsra.org/slsf.
