they'll develop their skills. we do the minute amount of supports they need. we don't also do a one-on-one training. sometimes the program needs to be adopted. and then with - after the program ends we'll get a feedback and do on evaluation and make the changes we need. >> so in trying to think of a mother for 44 for how we provided our services we came up with the base camp met for. we presented it in the family workshop. but this image is of a mountain range and it's showing some

camping equipment mountain kind of equipment. i look at one of the stick figures because i'm bald. i shaved my head but the stick figure on the right is me and vicky is on the left. but we look at ourselves as like the base camp for the kids or people participating in our program. and so our job is to remove barriers so they can participate in our program. f joe i didn't say going out on one of our programs and we'll be there to do the assessment get them all already and provided them that the equipment to go off on his adventure.

he can climb up one of the maintains we're also there and if he finished his adventure and his ready for another one. we try to get the parents to know they can follow them with recreation and park. this next imagine is illustrating with the proper support this won't happen this is a slide of somebody climbing up a maintain he didn't have the right support and he's falling off the mountain. we're also who i contact if you

family that all dressed up as vampires. the boy in a wheelchair has taken advantage of a hay ride event. i forgot to mention before vicky mentioned i'd like to say and i mean that vicky saved my life we have the proper tools in our kids to believe to evaluate children p with disabilities. this image is the front cover of our simmer camp guide. next we're going to talk about successful programs we've included kids in throughout our

program. look you can sign up for anything we offer and we'll make it work >> she gets a lot of slack for the very important life she saved. so we're going to show imagines from different activities and this may not be the actual child but it is an example of all the kinds of programs that children h have had successful inclusions. do we have an i mention of our rock climbing wall and she's climbing up the walking up wall. the next imagine is a swim class the children are all holding

swimming paddles. the next is is theatrical production. i'm not sure what show this is fro about vicky worked with the coordinator. the next imagine is a bunch of kids playing tennis. we've done is great things here. the next singes a butch you have kids sitting in a circle they're doing their morning meeting or activity at one of our outdoor camps. and a our inclusion as you doubled in numbers each summer and that's where we see the most but it's increasing during the school year with vicky doing the

assessments and playing kids in different programs. so last summer vicky worked with summer camp kids and a accident assessments and this summer i'm afraid to get somebody but that's the only which were we knew if they had during the summer and a worked with for a lot of other who didn't find out about it. this is our arts and craft activities. and then the next imagine is a row of children ready to shoot their boys. we put this image in here because we did some inclusion we accident a pilot program and

that are concrete do really well, but the child was so excited about the equipment and he was telling all his friends at school this is the first time i've been excited he was tlifrd to be in the class. it's exciting to be able to include those kids in classes that we wouldn't otherwise be able to be in. >> we're doing our little dance up here which is back and forth. now we want to talk about our specialized programs. so we have aa s l american sign

language program this is our picture from our neighborhood day camp and we're excited about this. we started this last year and we're going to do 7 weeks this year and we consider this a reverse inclusion camp. it's completely he assessable to the kids but any kid can sign up so long as they're interested in learning american sign language so they'll ail holding up their books and doing i love you signs. >> so at silver tree was our first time inclusion camp of children with autism which is included in silver tree so our

i am noticing that a lot of your work is around children or adult in the autism speck trim can you give us a little bit of background as of why? >> excuse me. as recent as march the current statistics that one in 50 children right now are being diegd or have autism. when i started in the field it was one in 6 hundred so it's definitely on the rise. some say it's due to better diagnosis. they really don't know some say older fathers have higher risk of children with autism. there's not a cause identified.

a lot of children with autism have aa hd as well. personally i think they're getting better at dizzying it. i think there are a lot of children with other disorders. here in the bay rate there's a high rate of children with autism. there's some speculation as to why that's the case. the growth in the technology feed have attracting a lot of people would know commuter >> and it does tend to run in families. it tends to run in families they're not saying it's

hereditary that you by you know someone who had two children with autism. i think that's why they have a lot of - while there is a lot of children with autism because we serve a great deal. and they said what about all the other children with other syndromes? i said your tackle tackling a group of kids to really provided services for so my hat a off to rec and parks to serve a lot of

kids that doesn't get services >> i was hoping you'd talk about is the fact if the rec and parks departments and especially they've been concerned with the camps and i understand that a lot of those other programs have been a part of the advocate of any support for families. that depose to say that listening to the needs of the community is important. >> i think it's the demand. we're getting a lot of kids with syndrome. i did a child scheduled with

another syndrome. the demand is there and we're getting the referrals because they know we serve >> thank you. is there anyone anymore questions? okay. so we're going to open it up to the public >> thank you very much. >> i do have jerry grace. hey are you guys - thank you, ma'am for coming and giving us information. i do have a question to you guys. what is - the other part you

left out is the age and the other part people don't know how you get to the camp and how to do it in the camp and i never heard you say anything about tense and the other stuff. and the part i left out and i don't know if you have anybody in special olympics or if you ever heard of special olympic please explain to us about the age in the other stuff >> thank you that's a great question. rec and park offers pretty much every kind of activities awe -

water sport and we do everybody we can to make sure that kids and adults can a participant in anything they choose to participate in. so specifically for our specialized programs are adopted recreation programs we over programs in the camps. i asked about camps as well are particularly for middle age kids we're really trying to expand our recreation programs for teenagers and young adults because that's a - you know, for support for families that's a huge area that needs more attention. but we offer inclusion for any young teens and adult and duties and seniors we try to serve

everybody from every age group. and with regard to the special olympics it used to be part of recreation and parks many, many years ago. and we still - they still hold some of their events at the stadium but we're note directly associated with the olympics anymore and one of the questions i. >> one of the questions i forgot to ask do you have anybody with children or family members working with you by g g r.c. and the golden gate? i forgot to ask that question >> thank you. >> we actually work with g g

r.c. in san francisco the life support for families we can actually higher our own staff but get some reimbursement when they're working with children that are g g c clients. thankful helped support the camp to the tune of $8,000 each year which is a huge benefit. and they also will help reimburse us for one-on-one aids for children who are doing inclusion. in some cases the parents will request that g g r.c. to provide

a staff person and the staff pays them. and a thank you everyone places at the rec and park. this one is the last we're moving on to item 9 >> do i get to talk on this item and a no. we're going to move to item 9. >> everybody plays. in the park and the rec today under city summer nights we're going to make it hit the highest highs. there is no one so blind as someone who won't see and we'll wait and see. everybody plays in the park and
