School aged children dream of summer with intense excitement and anxiously await the days full of sunshine and playtime. For many parents, finding ways to keep their children occupied and in a structured environment can pose a challenge. However, the Naperville Park District program is making it easier for parents to keep their kids active throughout the summer.
Parents of children with special needs can receive additional support from Western DuPage Special Recreation Association (WDSRA) when they register their children in the programs offered by the Naperville Park District. An alternative for parents of those with special needs would be to enroll their children into a program developed by WDSRA for those with disabilities. WDSRA offers a wide variety of exciting programs that include, but are not limited to, dance, social clubs, arts, sports and music and are available throughout the seasons, not just during the summer months.
In fact, WDSRA programs are also available to parents of children with disabilities that are now grown. For over 35 years, WDSRA has been serving the needs of families by providing structure and education to those with special needs. The programs available provide children and adults alike with daily structure, the opportunity to grow socially and allow each individual to improve their self confidence and build up their self esteem.
