Atlanto-Axial Instability (AAI)
AAI is a condition, often present
in those with Down Syndrome,
that allows increased mobility of
two vertebrae near the top of the
spinal column. NSSRA requires AAI
documentation from a physician for
a participant with Down Syndrome
wishing to register in a program
where this symbol is indicated.
AAI requires precautions that may
affect the safety of those with Down
Syndrome participating in certain
programs. Extended Program
Programs with this symbol meet prior
to and/or after the regular program
dates.
Bring Spending Money
Programs with this symbol may
request participants to carry and
spend money for food, beverages and
souvenirs.
Undetermined Drop Off Time
NSSRA may offer programs to
destinations such as sporting events
and shows for which the end time
cannot be specifically determined. The
group will stay until the conclusion
of the event. Staff will phone each
participant’s household at the
conclusion of the event with specific
drop off times.
