The objective of this program is to provide enjoyable recreational experiences to all participants through inclusive programming, accessible facility design and provision of accommodations.
This program is a three-tier initiative designed to identify and meet the recreational needs of underserved populations within the community.
Tier One: Inclusion
This phase will provide immediate training and support to maximize inclusion opportunities for participants in existing City recreation programs.
Tier Two: Adaptive Programming and Events
This phase will establish new programs and events specifically designed to meet the unique needs of special population groups within recreation.
Tier Three: Transition Support
This phase will introduce programs through external partnerships, to support young adults with disabilities to transition from recreation youth programs into volunteer positions to promote self-determination and provide valuable work experience.

Inclusive Sensory Friendly Family Showing
Saturday, September 22, 2018 at 10:00 a.m.
Join us at the Coral Gables Art Cinema for a Sensory Friendly showing of A Town Called Panic: Double Fun, which revels in the simple setup of three plasticine toys sent on increasingly surreal and freewheeling adventures. These short films continue the brilliant, over-the-top visual inventiveness that has given the series a dedicated cult following, with a classic slapstick comedy sensibility that is perfect for all ages.
Event includes: Popcorn & small drink. The Cinema auditorium will have lights turned slightly up and the sound turned slightly down. A quiet space and headphones will be made available as needed.
Limited seating available. Register in advance at the War Memorial Youth Center, or online at www.playgables.com to get your complimentary tickets!
