Therapeutic Recreation
& Accommodation Services
The Department of Recreation and Parks is a recognized leader in
opportunities for individuals with disabilities and is pleased to comply
with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations. Individuals with
disabilities are encouraged to register for general recreation programs of
their choice. Howard County Recreation & Parks has developed an inclusion
process to better accommodate individuals with disabilities. This process
has been recently updated. To ensure that we meet your program needs,
please contact Emily Pendleton, Therapeutic Recreation Supervisor at
410-313-4623 or ependleton@howardcountymd.gov, at least two weeks
before the program begins to request accommodation services.
The process to request accommodations is:
1. Choose your fun! Look through the guide and nd a program you or your
family member would like. Howard County Recreation & Parks has many
programs to choose from. You are always welcome to call us if you would
like some guidance when choosing.
2. Once you know what program you’d like to participate in, the next
step is to register. When registering, let us know that you will need an
accommodation. You can register online, over the phone, or in person at
any of our community centers or headquarters.
3. Once registered for a program, the next step is to request an
accommodation through our Accommodations Portal at www.
howardcountymd.gov/Therapeutic-Rec. This portal will ask you for
information about the program you have registered for as well as what
type of accommodation you are requesting. It will send our Therapeutic
Recreation team a notication when your request has been submitted.
4. After your request has been made through our portal, an Accommodation
Assessment link will be sent to you via email or the postal service. This
assessment needs to be completed two weeks prior to the start of a
program. This assessment will allow our team to better serve you and
your loved one and gives our sta more information on how to make the
program a success. Note: You only need to complete the Accommodation
Assessment once a year; however, you must send all accommodation
requests through the Accommodation Portal for each program you
register for.
5. Once our team has received the completed Accommodation Assessment,
we will reach out to you within three business days with a phone call or
an email conrming your request and to discuss strategies for inclusion.
Please remember that increasing the sta-to-participant ratio is never
guaranteed and is judged on a case-by-case basis. We will make every
eort to provide reasonable accommodations on an individual basis.
Please note that all required paperwork must be completed for requests
to be reviewed.
If you would like to check the status of your request or if you have any
questions regarding inclusion services, feel free to contact our therapeutic
recreation team. We would be happy to help!
