General Policies
Financial Assistance
Participants in need of financial assistance may download the Reduced Fee Application from our website at
www . nssra . org / forms or request a copy from NSSRA at ( 847 ) 509-9400 or
info @ nssra . org .
Send in your registration form with the application . All requests are reviewed by the Executive Director , and you will be notified upon approval . Financial assistance is not awarded to non-resident participants for cooperative programs , special events , trips , or transportation .
High-Risk Waiver Policy
Programs that involve potential high-risk activities will require signed high-risk waivers to be returned to the office two weeks prior to event date or start of program . If a waiver has not been returned by the deadline , participation will not be permitted for that specific event or program .
Annual Information Form ( AIF )
To better serve our participants and their family , we must have a current AIF on file in our office . This form contains medical and other information that NSSRA needs to know in case of an emergency .
If you are new to NSSRA or do not have a 2021 form on file , please submit your AIF with your registration form . The current AIF can be found on our website at
nssra . org / forms . If we do not have an AIF on file , you will not be allowed to register for programs .
ePACT will be replacing our Annual Information Form in the Spring of 2022 .
Late Pick Up Policy
If a participant has not been picked up at the scheduled program end time , the parent / guardian / group home staff will be contacted . After the ten-minute wait period , emergency contacts will be called if the participant has not been picked up . After ten minutes , a fee may be applied .
