The Town of Ajax can provide extra staff or volunteers in recreation programs and/or camps to support children, youth, and adults with special needs in a low ratio. Inclusion staff support is free to Ajax residents.
Inclusion Support
Recreation & Culture programs are open to all ability levels. You may need extra support if:
The Town of Ajax has the right to remove you from a program if you cannot follow participant criteria. The Town of Ajax Refund Policy will apply.
You must sign up for a general interest recreation program or camp before you sign up for inclusion support. Register for one-to-one support using the barcode.
If registering for the Playgrounds summer program, register first using the one-to-one support barcode and then contact the Community Recreation Coordinator of Inclusion Services at 365-282-6032 or at inclusionservices@ajax.ca.
For more information about one-to-one support barcodes, contact the Community Recreation Coordinator of Inclusion Services at 365-282-6032 or at inclusionservices@ajax.ca.
You can request support for one general interest program per session, and up to three weeks of support in summer camps.
A limited number of inclusion support spaces are open each session. Ajax will do its best to find support. Support is based on available resources at the time of registration and is not guaranteed.
If the participant of inclusion services is not in a program or camp anymore or will be absent, contact the Community Recreation Coordinator of Inclusion Services at 365-282-6032 or at inclusionservices@ajax.ca.
An inclusion support staff will be on site to lend assistance, provide adaptations and ease in the transition into a drop-in program. No registration is required. Contact the Community Recreation Coordinator of Inclusion Services at 365-282-6032 or Inclusionservices@ajax.ca to express interest in accessing the program.
Participants should be able to independently participate in a 1:4 ratio.
Multisensory Space – FREE
Multisensory rooms/spaces are dedicated spaces that control a sensory environment and allow individuals of all ages and abilities to come in and use various equipment to meet their own sensory needs and goals. Multisensory spaces allow for the equipment and the room to be adjusted to meet the needs of the individual using the space to provide the level of sensory stimulation they benefit from. Using a multisensory space can have a variety of positive benefits, including but not limited to calming/relaxation, sensory stimulation, fine and gross motor skill development, communication development, socialization and more. The Multisensory Space Drop-In at the Town of Ajax is designed with this adaptability in mind.
