Is our program accessible or appropriate for kids with learning or physical disabilities/limitations?
Our staff is required to attend ongoing training courses throughout the year which exposes them to various techniques in order to ensure a meaningful experience for children/teens with special needs. In the past, WYF has accommodated staff and participants with moderate learning, attention, and physical difficulties. Please keep in mind that our program is heavily dependent on communication, maturity, and movement. Accommodations can be made for those with moderate limitations but our staff is not properly equipped to assist adolescents with severe disabilities. If your child has special needs please inform our staff when registering and we can help you decide whether this program will be valuable to them. As the start of program approaches, specific accommodations will be arranged as necessary.
