Narrative

Inclusion Services:

  • We offer inclusion support services in all of our year round programs. Anyone in the Burlington community who would like to attend a program offered through BPRD may request inclusion support.

  • What does Inclusion Support look like?  Previewing an activity prior to attending, working with an instructor of a program to coordinate accommodations. Increasing staff ratios in a program pending staff availability.

Adaptive Programs:

  • BPRD offers a variety of adaptive programs. These programs align with other BPRD programs and have modifications, adaptations and supports built into the program from the start. 

  • An example of this is cooking and connections program - an adaptive culinary class with supports built into place! 

  • Adaptive programs change seasonally. Please check Burlington Parks and Recreation's seasonal brochure for more information.

Social Programs:

  • Socialization is a huge part of life! BPRD recognizes that and offers several social programs. These programs are staff supported. They are designed for people to come together and try new rec activities in a supportive and welcoming setting.
