Suggested Ages and Abilities

Most KSRA programs and special events are designed and offered for targeted age and ability groups so that programs best meet individual needs. Anyone wishing to participate in a program that does not appear to match his or her specific age or ability is encouraged to contact the KSRA main office at 779-777-7285 for additional information and to determine whether reasonable accommodations can be made.

Safety Policy Statement

Kishwaukee Special Recreation Association uses PDRMA (Park District Risk Management Agency) to assist in maintaining the highest standard of safety precautions and risk management policies. For more information regarding the safety regulations that Kishwaukee SRA follows, please contact Kishwaukee SRA at 779-777-7285 or kishsra@kishsra.org.

At Kishwaukee SRA, safety is the top priority for every employee and patron. KSRA will not condone any breach of safety rules or regulations made by employees or participants.

We acknowledge an obligation to provide safe working conditions for employees and a safe leisure environment for the community using our programs and services.

It is the intention of the Kishwaukee Special Recreation Association to develop, implement and administer a comprehensive safety and loss control program. In all of our assignments, health and safety should be the first consideration. Employees receive regular training in regards to safety precautions for both themselves and participants. All staff have been trained as mandated reporters for the state of Illinois and take that responsibility seriously.

There is a behavior protocol in place for all participants to successfully follow. Please refer to our brochure’s behavior regulations for any further questions.

Staff Ratios for Programs

Kishwaukee SRA programs are staffed according to the needs and abilities of participants as well as the nature of a particular program. Most programs have one staff to approximately three participants. In some programs, participants have individual assistants due to either the nature of the program or the participant’s behavioral needs. Our maximum staff to participant ratio is one to four.
