Though WDSRA offices are closed, programs are suspended and staff are working remotely, we want families to know that we are still here for you.
We understand that living under this stay-at-home order and practicing social distancing for families with children with special needs can be especially challenging.
So we are taking special recreation virtual. We have pulled together a whole lot of fun, creative ways to keep recreation a part of your day…. every day.
First, we pulled together a whole host of activities for every age, ability and interest. And we are putting them right at your fingertips at www.pinterest.com/westerndupagesra.
Second, we created a virtual bingo game to give your child, teen or adult with special needs a little more incentive to get up and moving during the day. This interactive bingo provides a well-rounded guide to activities they can do on their own or with a family member and lets them pick which fun activities they want to do! Check out this invitation!
Lastly, we will be posting videos of some of the activities and how some of our staff will be doing them right alongside you at home. You can check those out on our Facebook page or our Youtube page. We encourage you to post your videos too. Be sure to use the #WDSRAgoesvirtual.
