Inclusivity Assessor

I have become a certified Inclusivity Assessor and Inclusive Advocate from the New York State Inclusive Recreation Resource Center.

The Inclusivity Assessment Tool that I use is has been rigorously designed to capture valid, reliable, and necessary information about the inclusivity of a recreation agency or program. The Tool describes the physical aspects of a recreation agency, as well as the administrative and program practices that promote inclusion. The information collected with the tool is descriptive, functional, and detailed, so that users of recreation programs, areas, and facilities can make better plans for inclusive recreation.

If anyone is interested in having their recreation sites assessed or training on inclusion, I would love to work with you. An assessment is not scary, it is not filled with legalize. It provides you a good description of your site that you can provide to someone with a disability so that the person can make their own decision whether they are able to use your recreation site. It can be a very helpful document when looking for grant funding.

Depending on the number of facilities you have I can complete a full Parks and Recreation department in one day. This will provide detailed information on each of your parks, swimming pools and community centers.
