INCLUSION
Adventures Plus values children with special needs as an integral part of our diverse community. Adventures Plus encourages the enrollment of children with disabilities and strives to support their success in the program. Our goal is for all students to have independent, meaningful participation.
Adventures Plus will:
Encourage students to actively engage and particpate in age appropriate inclusive activities. Provide reasonable accommodations as needed to make physical and social inclusion successful.
PARENT / GUARDIAN ROLE
The role of the parent / guardian in Adventures Plus is vital. Parents / guardians are welcome to visit the site; their involvement will generate a unified, healthy experience for the child. Please contact your site coordinator with site-specific questions or concerns.
ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Adventures Plus Advisory Council consists of a group of program parents / guardians and staff who work together to provide high quality care for families with school-age children. Watch for council meeting minutes and information in your site newsletter. If you are interested in serving on the council, contact your site coordinator.
