VISION STATEMENT Opening a world of untapped potential and a lifetime of possibilities

WELCOME TO WDSRA! WDSRA is THE place for engaging community-based social & recreational programs for individuals of all ages with special needs. Our expert staff is dedicated to making sure every experience is a positive one. Our WDSRA Programs are designed similar to traditional park district programs. There is something for every interest including: competitive and recreational athletics, Special Olympics, adaptive sports, music, dance, art, theater, social clubs, camps, trips, special events and more! Through Inclusion Services, we offer assistance to any individual with a disability who registers for a park district program from any of our member districts. Assistance varies depending on the needs of the individual and can range from adapting materials to sending support staff. There is no additional cost for participants to receive inclusion services.

At Synergy Adaptive Athletics, We believe everyone should have equal access to the wide range of benefits that sports opportunities can provide. We help athletes with a primary physical disability realize those benefits by providing the tools and resources necessary to help each athlete perform to their utmost potential and to achieve their personal sports goals.

Synergy Adaptive Athletics is a collaborative effort between NEDSRA and WDSRA, started in 2014, to provide a wide range of adaptive athletics opportunities to a greater number of individuals throughout our member districts. Through combined resources and a larger athlete base, we are striving to build well-rounded, highly beneficial sports outlets for youth and adults alike. Some adaptive sports are tailored to individuals with specific diagnoses and/or ages, while others are open to anyone with a primary physical disability.
