Adaptive Classes, Trips, and Activities
Contact Jane Doyle, AIR Adaptive Programming Coordinator at 503-307-4131 to register when you find a class or activity you would like to participate in. You can also email the program staff (see below) for assistance and questions. Our monthly dance is a drop-in activity, no pre-registration is required.
Adaptive and Inclusive Staff
Our staff has a wide variety of experience working with people who have special needs. Direct service staff have experience in community recreation, education, or clinical settings. Many staff have college degrees, including therapeutic recreation, social work, school counseling, and human resources management.
Personal Care Policy
Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) staff may provide personal care assistance for any registered participants ages five and under, only if the participant has a disability and requires assistance with personal care. Participants ages six and over are encouraged to bring their own personal assistant to the activity (must be 18 and older) at no charge to provide any necessary and unavoidable personal care.
Universal Access Play Areas
The concept of a Universal Access Play Area environment is one that not only meets ADA requirements; it means an environment that is designed for all children of all abilities and their families.
