SPECIAL NEEDS INCLUSION FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
The JCC is committed to providing individuals with disabilities full access to our facility and programs. The Center works with families, organizations and individuals to ensure a successful experience for each participant with special needs.
Our mission of inclusion extends to children and adults alike. The JCC invites group homes serving Jewish individuals with special needs to become part of the Center through family membership.
If you or a family member need assistance in order to participate in a JCC program, please note this on your registration form. Our inclusion director will contact you to make appropriate arrangements. For a copy of the JCC Inclusion brochure, please call Scott Barr at (952) 381-3425, or e-mail him at [email protected].
