Adaptive Recreation PDF Print E-mail

Through the efforts of Mayfield Communities and Mayfield Schools, the Adaptive Recreation committee is offering opportunities for individuals with physical, sensory or developmental disabilities and typical peers. Mayfield Communities are part of the consortium that includes surrounding communities that are also offering Adaptive Recreation Programs.

Early registration is encouraged to meet minimum enrollment requirements.


For all programs, an aid or assistant (which can be a parent or caregiver) is strongly recommended for one-on-one assistance for any student who has difficulty following simple instruction, needs individual patterning or needs constant guidance.
