One-to One Inclusion Support  

The Township of King is pleased to offer inclusive 1:1 support in camps and year-round programs. A participant with a disability may require additional support for activity accommodation, personal support for safety and care, or to assist with their social and recreational experience. The Participant Intake Form is required to be completed and updated each year to assist the team in preparing interests and accommodations. The Township of King attempts to accommodate requests for additional support, however, due to the number of requests or level of care, support cannot be guaranteed. Families are welcome to consider alternate options of support with a family member or external worker to attend the program. Once support has been confirmed by the Lead Hand – Aquatics and Inclusion Services, then the participant will be registered with full payment of the Township program. 

Inclusion support is offered by specially trained inclusion facilitators to work one-to-one with a participant throughout the program. Staff can assist participants by providing modifications in areas such as program instruction, movement, equipment, communication, and promoting socialization with others.
