Inclusive Programs Through CUSRCUSR and its member park districts believe that all individuals should be provided with leisure opportunities that allow for performance at their highest level of ability. We understand that not every person who has a special need desires CUSR programming. In cooperation with the Champaign Park District and the Urbana Park District, CUSR staff will be happy to assist and advise any resident who is interested in participating in local park district programs. CUSR will provide the type of support deemed necessary for successful participation. Support may include training with the park district staff members, consultation with the individual and the individual’s family members, and the assistance of a support staff member. CUSR provides all inclusion services at no cost to the individual. For more information, please contact CUSR.

Our MissionTo provide quality recreational programs and services for Champaign-Urbana residents with disabilities.

Our VisionCUSR exists to ensure that people with disabilities in our community have access to a full range of recreational services.

We create equal access to recreation, which is integral to a higher quality of life. We create awareness and advocate acceptance of people with disabilities so they can more fully participate in recreation and all aspects of society.

Invite Us To SpeakCUSR staff members are knowledgable in many disability-related issues and topics. Let us talk to your group about the Americans with Disabilities Act, integration, and the future of special recreation. An overview of CUSR’s mission, trends in recreation and many other topics are available to you with a simple phone call. Call the CUSR office at 217-239-1152 to set up a meeting.

Program HistoryCUSR is an intergovernmental cooperative made up of the Champaign and Urbana Park Districts, that was founded in 1985. CUSR provides year round leisure and recreation opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. Our mission is to enhance participants’ abilities in enjoyable recreational, leisure, and social settings. CUSR participants explore new areas of interest, make new acquaintances, and learn lifetime leisure skills. Our services include inclusive and cooperative programs, special events, after school programs, overnights, trips, Special Olympics, summer day camps and much more.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)CUSR complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which prohibits discrimination on the basis of a disability. CUSR will make reasonable accommodations in recreation programs to enable participation by an individual with a disability who meets essential eligibility requirements. The recreation programs offered by CUSR will be available in the most integrated setting appropriate for each individual. If you have any questions regarding the ADA, or believe you have been unfairly discriminated against by CUSR, please contact the CUSR Manager at 217-239-1152.

Leonhard Recreation Center 2307 Sangamon Drive, Champaign

Springer Cultural Center 301 N. Randolph Street, Champaign

Or register online at www.cuspecialrecreation.com *Please note: Online registration is not live, so does not guarantee entry into program.

Full payment must be received upon registration unless specific arrangements have been made with the CUSR office. Registrations will not be processed if a fee balance remains from a previous season. Registrations are accepted in person at the locations listed above, through mail, and by fax (217-373-7951). When faxing, please include credit card information so we may process the registration. Coordinators and program leaders MAY NOT receive payment or registration forms at programs. CUSR does not prorate for late registration. Exceptions may be made for people who are new to the community.

MedicationAt times, participants may require assistance taking medication during programs. If the participant is unable to self-medicate or take the medication prior to or after the program, CUSR requires additional paperwork, and pre-packaged medication must be delivered to our office prior to the program.

Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS)The CUSR full-time program staff are all Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists. This certification demonstrates that each of these individuals, through education, experience and passing a knowledge-based examination, has met the minimum requirements for practice in therapeutic recreation. The national exam for Therapeutic Recreation Specialists is based on knowledge from the National Job Analysis Study for Therapeutic Recreation which defines the important skills and knowledge necessary for minimum competency in the therapeutic recreation practice.

CUSR employs experienced professionals who understand the level of skill, both physical and mental, needed to participate fully and safely in the programs they plan. Therefore, CUSR reserves the right to determine if a program is suitable for an individual. Staff may serve as a resource to suggest alternate programming.

CUSR Transportation PolicyOur door–to–door routes need to have a minimum of 2 registrants to run. If a route is cancelled, a phone call will be made to the participant and their caregiver, and a full refund will be issued to the participant’s account.

To ensure more individuals have access to the CUSR programs of their choice, there is a new policy for all those non-residents whom do not pay taxes into Champaign or Urbana Park District. Non-residents now have the option to pay $50 for a year’s privilege to register at resident rate. This charge is yearly starting from the time initially paid. This fee does not include access to scholarships, those are reserved for tax-paying residents of the Champaign and Urbana Park District.

Depending on the particular activity, participants must under-stand that certain risks, dangers and injuries due to inclement weather, slipping, falling, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or offici-ating, and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities/programs exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for CUSR to guarantee absolute safety.

Waiver and release of all claims and assumption of risk Please read this form carefully and be aware that in signing up and participating in CUSR programs/activities, you will be expressly as-suming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages or loss which you or your minor child/ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with said programs/activities (including transportation services/vehicle operation, when provided).

I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in these programs/activities, and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of said participation. I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of participating in these program/activi-ties against CUSR and Champaign and Urbana Park Districts, including their respected officials, officers, employees, and volunteers (hereinafter collectively referred as “CUSR”). I do hereby fully release and forever discharge CUSR from any and all claims for injuries, damages, or loss that my minor child/ward or I may have or which may accrue to me or my minor child/ward and arising out of, connected with, or in any way as-sociated with these programs/activities. I have read and understand the above important infor-mation, warning of risk, assumption of risk and waiver and release of all claims.

Instructions for Completing the Application for ParticipationThe Application for Participation (App) must be filled in completely. Apps with blank sections or attachments (exception: let-ter from State Office of Guardianship, 2a below) will not be accepted.

This App is valid for 2 years from the date of the examination date, regardless of the parent/guardian/Entrant signature date.

Parent/guardian and doctor signatures must be original and both original signatures must be on the same App form. Faxedsignatures, phone consents or verbal consents will not be accepted.

If Entrant was listed on the Sex Offender Public Registry or the Child Murder and Violent Offender Against Youth Registrybut has since been removed, contact the Special Olympics Illinois office for instructions before submitting this application.

ATHLETE INFORMATION AND HEALTH INSURANCE & EMERGENCY INFORMATION1. The first two sections must be filled in completely. The ethnicity information is requested to assist in the organizational outreachefforts.

PARENT AND/OR GUARDIAN AUTHORIZATION AND MEDIA RELEASE2. The Parent or Legal Guardian must read, sign and date the Parent/Guardian Authorization and Media Release.

a. The section must be signed and dated as printed. Deletions or alterations to the section will result in an invalid App.(Exception: Deletion of the last paragraph regarding medical treatment and attachment of a letter of explanation and 24-hour emer-gency telephone numbers from the State Office of Guardianship. As of January 1, 1987, the letter of explanation must beattached.)

b. Only one of the two signature blocks must be completed. Special Olympics Illinois works under the understanding that thissection may be signed by either:

The (biological or adoptive) parent unless the athlete has been designated a ward of the state;OR

The legal guardian; this person must be legally assigned for the individual;OR

The athlete if he/she is over the age of 18 and has not been designated as needing and having been assigned a legal guardian.A witness signature is necessary if the athlete’s signature is unrecognizable (for example, if the athlete’s signature is an “X.”)

MEDICAL CLEARANCE3. The Medical Clearance section must be completed, signed and dated by a medical practitioner licensed to administer physicalexaminations by the state in which he/she practices. As of September 1, 1990, the Special Olympics Illinois Application forParticipation is the only Medical Clearance form which will be accepted as valid by Special Olympics Illinois.

This person, by signing the Medical Clearance, is stating that the athlete is in good health and can safely participate in SpecialOlympics sports training and competition. It is strongly suggested that the person administering the physical examination possess thefollowing:

Background and preparation in giving sports physical examinations.Qualifications to administer examinations that would not compromise his/her area of specialty.

AFTER COMPLETING THE APPLICATION ...4. Send the original copy of the Application for Participation to the Area Director who will send the App to the Special OlympicsIllinois Chapter office. The Chapter office will validate the Application for Participation and send a copy of the App with anapproved stamp back to the SOAD (Special Olympics Athletic Director). An Application for Participation will not be validated untilall information is correct and completed on the approved form.

5. Special Olympics Illinois requires that all Applications for Participation be presented prior to and no later than the establishedMedical App deadline of a Chapter championship level event (Winter Games, State Basketball Tournament, Summer Games,Outdoor Sports Festival, Fall Games, Floor Hockey or State Bowling Tournament). All Apps for the event in question must be validthroughout the completion of that Chapter competition.

Applications for Participation for athletes participating in District Tournaments and Sectional Tournaments must be received beforethe entry deadline or with registration materials.

Applications not on file or in receipt by the specified deadline will not be accepted.


Late Pick-Up PolicyIn order to be fair to our participants and program leaders, CUSR has enacted a late pick-up policy. The first time a participant is not picked up within a 5 minute grace period, a written warning will be handed out. For each minute following the grace period, a fee of $1/per minute will be charged to the parent or guardian. Registration for other programs will not be accepted until all outstanding late fees are paid. Thank you for helping us to respect others through punctual pick-ups.

Satisfaction GuaranteedCUSR constantly strives to provide participants with high quality recreation programs, activities, and events. To encourage first-time participation, as well as repeat participation, CUSR has a refund policy highlighted by a satisfaction guarantee. This special refund policy provides us with timely feedback about dissatisfaction regarding our services. If you are not completely satisfied, tell us, and we will either invite you to repeat the class at no charge, allow you a credit that can be applied to another program, or issue you a refund. A refund will be granted if you were dissatisfied with the experience due to circumstances under CUSR’s control. If you are not satisfied, we kindly ask you to give us your input or ideas for improvement. Requests for the above mentioned options must be made before the midpoint of the program or within two weeks of a single meeting activity. All refund requests must be submitted on the Satisfaction Refund Request form and turned into CUSR. A $5 service charge will be deducted from all refunds. Satisfaction Guarantee does not apply to trips and special events with prepaid admissions and tickets.

Program Cancellation PolicyAll registration cancellations must be made at least one week prior to the start of the program in order to receive a full refund. For programs with cancellation dates listed, registration must be cancelled no later than the specified date to receive a full refund. Any program cancellations after the one week deadline will receive NO refund. A $5 service charge will be deducted from all refunds.

Program ScholarshipsBecause some residents are unable to participate in recreation programs due to economic hardship, CUSR provides a scholarship policy to reduce certain fees and charges. Scholarship applications are not guaranteed and are based on available funds, program registration, or choice of program location. Early applications are given priority. Please apply 3-4 weeks before the program start date. Applications are available at the CUSR office and can be mailed upon request. Need is the primary criteria upon which scholarship applicants are considered. Scholarships are not available for transportation and specifically identified programs. For more information, call 217-239-1152. Payment plans available to all. ALL monies owed must be paid prior to next season registration accepted.

Inclement Weather PolicyIf inclement weather occurs, CUSR may still decide to hold programs. If the weather turns dangerous, CUSR will call participants prior to the start of the program to cancel the program. If you are unsure whether a program will meet due to inclement weather, call CUSR. Missed programs due to weather may be made up the week after the end of the program season. Credit is given for additional cancellations.

CUSR Information

Extreme Temperature PolicyHot temperatures (for outdoor programs) at program time: 100oF actual temperature; heat index of 110oF or more constitutes cancelling program due to unsafe conditions.Cold temperatures (for all programs) at program time: 2oF actual temperature; -30oF or below wind chill constitutes cancelling program due to unsafe conditions.

Participant Expectations1. Participants need to wear appropriate attire for

program participation (i.e. for athletic/fitness programs comfortable clothing and tennis shoes must be worn). If you have questions about the type of attire participants should wear for a particular program, please contact our office.

2. Participants need to have clean, dry clothing.3. No bowel/bladder problems upon arrival at the

transportation location or program. (If this is a concern, extra clean clothing, clean-up supplies and Depend garments (or similar items) must be sent with the participant).

4. Participants need to pay attention to body odor and overall appearance (clean hair, face, teeth, hands, etc.). CUSR staff will also be consistent in stressing personal hygiene while participants are in our programs and will not return participants at the end of a program in an unclean manner.

28

Transportation Policy/Safety Procedures1. Transportation must be requested at least

48 hours prior to the program date. If transportation is requested with less than 48 hours from program date, there is no guarantee transportation will be available. NO transportation request at the time of the program will be accepted.

2. A minimum of two participants must register for transportation in order for it to run.

3. Transportation is provided from YOUR home back to YOUR home. We will not pick up or drop off at any other sites.

4. CUSR staff will wait a maximum of 5 minutes past your pickup time due to a demanding van schedule. If you miss your pickup time, we will not return to pick you up. It is your responsibility to find transportation to the program if you miss your pickup time.

5. CUSR transports in-district participants only. 6. Transportation will only be provided for those

who sign up and pay for the service at the beginning of the program. We will not provide transportation for anyone mid-season that is not on the transportation roster at the beginning of the program.

7. Persons unable to be in a house alone should have someone meet the van at the designated time of return.

8. If needed, the CUSR driver will assist participants to and from their homes, but driveways and walkways must be clear of debris and obstacles.

9. All passengers must be sitting in seats or wheelchairs with belts securely fastened in the correct manner or the driver will not move the vehicle.

10. CUSR staff is responsible for determining whether or not a participant can be transported safely.

11. Persons riding in Amigo-type wheelchairs or strollers must transfer into a vehicle seat and use a seat belt.

CUSR reserves the right to refuse to transport individuals. These policies have been developed to ensure safety of everyone riding in CUSR vehicles.

Behavior CodeCUSR promotes the concept of “Equal Fun For Everyone” and strives to accomplish this belief through our program goals. However, certain rules are necessary to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. CUSR participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. The CUSR behavior code states that participants shall show respect to all participants and staff, refrain from using foul language, refrain from causing bodily harm, and show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities. Additional policies may be developed for specific programs and camps.

DisciplineA caring, positive approach will be used regarding discipline. CUSR reserves the right to dismiss participants. Each situation will be evaluated on its own merit.

InsuranceIndividual accident liability insurance is not provided by CUSR. Dishonored ChecksA $25 service charge will be assessed on all checks returned by the bank for any reason.

CUSR Information

Emergency ContactsEmergency phone numbers may be used for reasons other than an actual emergency situation. If staff needs to communicate any unforeseen change(s) of plans, transportation schedule adjustments, etc., and neither parent/guarding can be reached, the emergency contact is our only source to call. Please help us reduce any anxiety created with these calls by letting your designated “emergency contact” know that they may be called for other situations. Your assistance with this is appreciated.

Atlanto-Axial SubluxationIndividuals with Downs Syndrome are at risk of having a condition known as Atlanto-Axial Sub-luxation. CUSR must have a doctor’s written note on file stating a participant is free of the instability if he/she wishes to participate in programs that may cause undue stress upon the neck. Please take this into consideration when registering and inform staff if the condition is present.
