historically it does not mean that they are eligible this year we look at each year as its own ear regarding a child's progress so the reason why it might not have been discussed in your IP meetings yet is because we're taking that data throughout the year these breaks so now that we've had winter break we've had time coming back from winter break now is when things are able to really look at the data and so if it's end of school year is something that the team is going to be discussing you will likely be meeting invitations to discuss it around April in the month of April is likely when you'll start having those conversations and discussions and then within those that came was decide based on goals that are with our goals with his regression that's when you'll talk about how much time is needed in order to maintain that skill set we're just really here in case there are any questions our presentation night or in general regarding extended school year and it was recorded so it is available on our website if you guys want to if you weren't able to attend and want to watch it I need to access it and maybe a? To that as well we mailed it architect tekikare I can tell we are not the veterans United audio-visual we still had the mimeograph where you did the same that smell for anybody that remembers so that should be next one funny people hi can you hear me this is I guess it's annoying okay can you hear me I will talk very loudly when is Lori sarns program manager in the Carmel Mountain office for children aged six to 1480 Hartford is a Early Childhood Program manager in the Carmel Mountain office and she does early start too early childhood up to age 60 and we're very happy to be here today to talk about our social medical therapies and Camp funding how do I get rid of that how do you make sorry so why are we here today so we want families to know about social Rec camp non medical therapies we want people to know why we're doing the service late for many many years we didn't do the service and what's happening now that we're starting to find Social Rec services I want to explain how the process to request Services happens we want to know the client family responsibilities what you need to know to pose a potential providers and what need to have for your service coordinator and the responsibilities of your service coordinator and the San Diego Regional Center I was just going to add weekend to see that people are raising their hand and there's some things in the queue I will be happy to answer all of that at the end so if you're on Zoom just kind of hold it and at the very end will go through all the q-and-a cuz it's kind of hard to go pull out of this and go? Question we will get to thank you thank you so why are we doing this so we find that many times our clients or isolated from the community in general and we want we want people to be out and having social in Iraq and in their community so one of the ways to do this is to find services in which the clients can get out be among people their community and develop friendships outside of family support group our support system and that's where thing we want to encourage communication the building of social skills and social brag is considered a time-limited service so what we do is we set up the the authorization for a service at a six-month period of time typically so if somebody wants to swim will do the swim classes for 6 months at the end of 6 months what kind of reevaluate how did that go did they learn that they learn it to the enjoy it refunded Rock binding climbing for somebody and the dad said he went once and I hated it still you know for us to put it an authorization for a whole year of rock climbing for a child who doesn't want to go it really doesn't make any sense so we reassessed like what's going on and maybe after you want to do rock climb you know who knows still it's the opportunity to learn a whole lot of different social activities and interact with different people so who is eligible for the funding for social rachni medical therapies and Camp it any anyone that is what considered a status to so once eligibility has been determined typically at age 31 they are eligible to to request a social rack and we would look at finding those services status to means that the eligibility has been determined to date you. The person is eligible for San Diego Regional Center services for pretty much their lifetime do we call. three things social racks that we have social Recreation we have camp and we have non medical Therapies do social Recreation and this this may get a little confusing cuz some of these things overlap but I'll try to delineate what the difference is so we have people doing martial arts swimming we have some great some theaters that are inclusive in are having our kids calm and be part theater activities Williams sports leagues the Escondidos stalker is big for some of our and that wouldn't North Coast Soccer North County Soccer art classes classes dance classes so there are a whole bunch of things but is not limited to just die if say for example somebody wants to learn how to do pottery. I'm going to go to a pottery Studio and I'm going to be with the instructor and I'm going to be around other people who are making pottery and I'm getting baked my own pottery. Still sore you're among others in the community you're in a grated into the community as I would say still can't dance currently have to be what we called vendor drew the Regional Center which means that they have to make the application with the San Diego Regional Center so that we can fund this is in the state of flux right now so eventually we may not to have have to have a vendor but for now they do need to be Bender so they goes our community service and they present what what camp they have the dates for the camp and the cost of the camp in our community services department determines whether it's it's it's something that would be vendors we have day camps the Autism Society has surf camp they have some other camps that are just wonderful and we have some overnight camps at the Y has some for for people that are eligible for a regional center services okay so now not MediCal therapies remember before art music dance we said that social wreck so what's the difference between social rack and a non-medical therapy well if the difference is the people that are doing the non medical therapies have been specifically trained you were with people with developmental disabilities still so I'm here early if they're doing a non-medical therapy their peer group will probably be other people with you by mental disabilities because it's it's a it's an Adaptive sort of scale adaptive horseback riding adaptive swimming adaptive karate Taekwondo music therapy I would say one way I always think of it too is like a music lesson you're learning how to play the piano can be social rap music therapy is a non-medical therapy cuz you have a therapist they're working with the child the process for requesting Services it's really not that hard but organization or Agency for the the activities that your child is interested in do you want to give a little some people are really really stuck on asking their coordinator I want to list I want to list I want and we just want to kind of challenge you to not so much think of it that way and think about where do you live in your community where would your child on integrated meet people and do what they're interested in you can open any company and say would you be willing to accept a third-party payment they don't already have to be set up with us and kind of what we're running into is the companies that are set up with us when parents just want the list of it now those companies are get it right cuz nobody's going out and talking to different gymnastics places are different some places they just wanted use the one that already knows what they're doing but we encourage you to just think about that and think about what are new places that I could go to and talk to them and say hey would you be willing to do that cuz we have a company that would work with them and set up all the billing so it's really not that difficult it's just you as a parent have to have a conversation if you if you find an activity say right now we don't have any you do pottery places so if you have and I don't know if you find something that you child that is interested in doing and Senior Community just talked to the the person who owns the business and say you know I want to work I want my child to attend your program and I want to work with you to have the regional center make payment for this and we have talked to you service coordinator they can give you the information to provide to that Audrey Studio and explain how the process works how Regional Center won't pay directly but we do have an agency that will pay them for the services still thank you don't think about where you know I'm stuck on Pottery I'm sorry but you know something maybe with animals or anything that you might be interested in it or your child to be interested so ask the provider and then provide the bill payment procedures and that's that's why I told you to get from your Regional Center service coordinator and then gather the information to provide to your service is what they're saying about billing sounds a little confusing to you just make sure you give the name and the number of the the the owner or whoever you've talked to you at the studio where classes so that the service coordinator can talk to them and find out exactly what what the payment is for how long are the sessions going to be that sort of thing so so we can make the the paperwork appropriate so so the providers get paid we don't want did not get paid so this is what you do you share the name of the social rack agent or provider confirmation that they're willing to accept payment through what we call the SMS fiscal Management Service the type of activity activities setting where you going to do it how awesome do you want your child to do that you know once a week twice we eat the cost of the when's our class is it per class is it monthly how does that work and one of the questions you're going to discuss with your service coordinator is how did you see this benefiting what what skills are they going to develop are they going to learn communicate better communication skills better listening skills what what exactly is going to happen on the date that the activities will begin let me just say that we took a place to start our services on the 1st of every month because it's just easier for bookkeeping that way but if you have like a soccer program that start the March 15th we certainly would would look at funding for that time. The thing is we need notice to get this done there's a lot of paperwork that happened to make this to make this happen. Do we need at least just noticed sometimes more depending on how how agreeable the provider of the service is still want to know what you're interested in it or get it started and and work another thing I'd be important is if there's a registration fee so for example at North County Soccer Park I think there's like a $38 registration fee so you want to ask those questions and tell your service coordinator because if we do put it in the original request even include that in the amount or giving them we can't go backwards so make sure you're getting all the information of all the funding that you're wanted Okay so which restores coordinator going to do for you they are going to once they have all the information together they are going to put together a referral form which will come to the program manager and a program manager is it over I don't think we rarely ever say you know send it back and get something else but sometimes we need a little more information like I had somebody that said it was $400 for hit I can't remember what lesson it was and I'm like that can't be right we can't be paying $400 for a tennis lesson you know so do you know it needs to we need to check it out and that's what the program enters its doing it there are checking that out we are not saying yes or no we're just saying it did this make sense and doesn't work with other things that that were provided once they get that approval from the program manager they will call the parent where they should be calling the parent and saying okay we're good to go here's what we're looking at doing and then they're going to send what's called an individual program Amendment so it's the summary sheet from the IPP they're going to send you that and then it's going to say serc has agreed to and then like swimming two times a week and where it is and then you just need to sign that agreeing that those are the services that you want the regional center to provide and Dan the surf we need a whoop then do the paperwork or the funding because it's complicated don't do the request and like I said it's up to 6 month increments if it's a if it's like a soccer thing that only does for 3 months do you know what the end of three months we can look at doing something something else after it's after that in about that we can only find one social wreck at a time but we can also be funding a non-medical therapy and a can't so you can have three things going at one time but they can't be three of the same thing you can't have two social racks you can't have two medical therapies you just can't have two camps at the same time but you can have three different services at 1 let's let's do it at the end until they're done but we're actually missing something so we do talk about parent responsibilities still one of the things that you need to do is when that 6-month is coming up your service coordinator 100 people on their cases and they want you to have the service if they want your child to have the service and they want the child to continue the service so about a month or eight weeks before that six months is up call them and say you know what we really like the service we want to do it for another six months so just prompt them so that there's not a gap in the time between service when you're like a month or eight weeks away from the end of the six months, and say you know what we really want to try something different and this is what we want to do instead so make sure you communicate with them about what what you want to happen before that six months is over all right question I can ask to go to the certain businesses. it's not always an easy process and I just want to know that because so I don't want chance to give up just because that one said no later so I just let me know for people and zoom and may not have heard here you know it it does take her somewhere with all to get providers that aren't vendored with the regional center to kind of agree to work with us because we date we typically don't pay upfront and they have to wait for a little while usually probably at least he got paid to deal with some people don't don't want to do that but if you get no at one place you may get gas at another place and I think that's why a lot of the family say who's already doing it with Regional Center because that makes it really easy for you you know that they're going to they're going to do it but if if your child has an interest at something that's not already that happening you know go out there and we're amazed at how many opportunities have become available to clients through through parents asking businesses thank you she's going to this has come up and then we'll start doing the car an answer there's a lot of raised hand it'll be a lot easier if you put it in the queue in a cuz there's hundreds of people so if you can just type the question in the Cuba night and then we'll go through those but something that has come up with this is there are some companies that are asking parents we are going to charge you on your credit card and then once Regional Center pays us will pay you back and families are saying do we have to do this no but we have no say in what these companies tell family is right they don't they don't work for us it's there their choice to do that so you might want to ask those questions to like hey if you're not getting paid upfront are you going to request the iPad how to time so we can't we can't stop them from doing that but that's your choice if you want to set up the payment that way or not but you be aware that if you do pay in advance and the agency or business won't pay you back Regional Center reimburse you so we try to encourage you not to do the credit card thing as much as possible because we've had some situation where their delay in payments and they charge the parents unfortunately and then it it okay so one of the questions is for non-medical therapy does required on self-determination program and no restriction this is this is a traditional service so you do not have to be part of self-determination this is a service that available to anybody regardless of whether they're in South Dakota patient or they're in what we called traditional services this is a good on what is the difference between swimming lessons and swimming therapy so this comes up a lot okay because this is very confusing but we have some company that have become vendors with us to provide addaptive swim so those companies that have chosen to go through the process with regional center and be adapted swim instructors have to go in the non Medical Care if a company has not done that and they're just doing regular some lessons that goes in the social rap category so yes that is confusing I'm so some people will be using so mean under social wrecked in Somerville isn't it under non-medical depending on the company typically adapted to mean is like one-on-one at the most two on one what is the company does not agree to accept unfortunately then that would be not somebody that we could work with and we would have to look for another similar company question are yoga classes part of Rack or non-medical. as far as I know we do not have any yoga structures that have gone through the process to become a non-medical therapy vendor so that would be considered social wreck at this point but we would encourage the family needs to reach out to that yoga studio and see if they'd be willing to work with the the third-party payee the SMS the new school year oh okay that's not extended school year how can I have my family and I'm so funny I'm like I don't know what yes why okay the question is first 17 year olds wanting to go to overnight summer camp there's extremely limited amount of places that be willing to take an autistic child that is something we would need to know from my provider and dates available I tried last year from YMCA on my own and they said they didn't take his that needed assistance to call sdrc so we wait we do have the Veil Melanie to fund for an 88 if the agency says that the child needs an aide we have parents who say I want my child to have an aide at this program you sound is is very self-sufficient and so it's the provider who calls the shots about whether or not an age is needed whether they have the capability to provide the services for a child but we do have ways to fund that if the agency has their own Aid we can look at helping to fund that way otherwise the parent needs to identify someone and then they were for another agency and we fund through the other agency they had the If the parents select we have to have them hired by by one of our respite agencies who does social back assistance then I session is how do you know if your child is considered sad as to who should I ask if your child active Regional Center client and they're older than three years old you can assume your child is either status you or status to if your child is a jh6 or older and they have an active Regional Center case they are that is too but you can ask her Regional Center worker but we don't have any children that our regional center clients over the age of six that are not status okay so somebody said kind of a long one about it's kind of difficult for parents to explain this process to companies I understand that we do have like a short little wire explaining what they need to boss is basically like a W-9 they will be working with a company called Community interface and they walk them through the process of how to send invoices and how to build I think your job of a parent is more it just put it in simple terms I would love for my child to come here Regional centers willing to pet however you would be getting paid through third-party and for example if my daughter attended in February you would be getting the payment for February and March is that something that I'd be willing to explore cuz then we can have Community interface talk to them and set them all up with everything as I said previously we do have a letter that parents can give to businesses is that explain the positive for for a lot of businesses that it's not part of their business model sometimes it's hard for them to think creatively about how to how to do that but like I said we had some great success with providers on the community somebody asked what are the services at CRC pays for I've a five-year-old do they pay for PT and OT what about caregiver services and I'm going to go to therapy so physical therapy and occupational therapy not something that could be paid for through the social wrecker non-medical program that is something you have to go to insurance for caregiver Services is also not something that is part of this program and unless the provider Rick there's an eighth non-medical therapy that is what this is talking about so we can find some of those non medical therapies such as like horseback riding adaptive swim music therapy I'm just not the traditional Therapies recover do insurance like PT speech OT the next question do camps work the same way as social Rock for example I have participated in weekly summer camps for the city of Poway or prime weekly wind-up code ninjas how would this work okay so the ones that you are referring to even though the city of Poway caused them a camp I'm assuming you mean like the weekly wandering ski week or the weekly one in the summer those are not currently they have not gone through the process to be vendored with us at this time we cannot pay for any camps that the camp did not come up to us give the program design and We've Ended Lori mention. Might be changing so you could if you don't have another social record tivity you can code it as that you could ask I want my kids to go to the social activity it's only one week long and spin it that way so there's kind of ways to spin it I think I think sometimes it's really not people call it a can of but it's really like a week of like fun activities we do try to work with families as much as possible make make things available to their children is this program in addition to self-determination so I think the thing is if you get approved for a social Americorps account that money just go into your self-determination budget so it's if you have something termination you're not getting this as an Edition cuz it's a traditional service but whatever you're approved for that money goes into your self-determination budget can we pay Opera as parents and get it reimbursed from serc so as they are so you can never pay a parent directly for any service we have to pay a company through purchase of service for the letter for the business can you post it in the chat we do not have it with us right now but you can ask your coordinate following up on the status who questioned my child is not registered with the San Diego Regional Center do I apologize apply for services to your organization to find out if you status to them on clear on this so you can call her intake department and start the process to see if he is eligible for Regional Center services they would have to have a diagnosis and you would be providing us all of that paperwork well there might be more okay then all activities Batavia SMS or one has to be rendered so you can only have one activity paid through Napa mess at a time so the example you like you cannot be doing volleyball and soccer at the same time but you could be doing soccer with your social wreck and music therapy which is non-medical at the same time yes the question was whether or not you could have more than one sofa crack or non medical therapy through self-determination and the answer is yes if that's the way you set up your spending plan that is possible to do the last question is I know one better committed all the paperwork and is not going to approve after 2 months how can the vendor follow up and see if the process of the vendor has a has a contact information of the person it is possible that we didn't approve it so there are certain things they need to submit to us they have a program designer we might have told them we need you to make adjustments to this at this time this is enough for us so you know without knowing all the details it would be hard to answer okay we are taking up all of our time and I'm sorry for the questions that we can't answer we do encourage you to please reach out to your service coordinator if you have more questions there are your experts are the people who can help you with it whatever you need and we greatly appreciate your interest in the social racket is is booming and we are doing some great things with families and children so it's very exciting as a thanks so much for having us next week and a half master came from Sunday it's adapted to condole program right good morning yes I'm also Bender of a San Diego Regional Center so I understand how all the parents questions and concerns and it just takes some time even to get Bender dies and there is all that just know that so well first my name is master Daniel Kim and I have a school in 4S Ranch area Rancho Bernardo be currently service students as young as three and a half or they have to be potty trained and all the way up to adults and I've been been dry since last year and I was able to work with my students on the Spectrum as well as my son being on the Spectrum as well the same I'm still in the process of getting the services from sdrc so I can understand the parents patience of getting through on the program's so the first one is we we we I wanted to talk about the focus the flexibility I have a program that we're when we start our classes we we start one-on-one because every every child is different they learn differently and from that program I work with the child the students and make how I can communicate with them so I can relate to them how they can feel comfortable and then from there we go into small groups then we going to take groups like General General training groups and. worked with a lot of our students recently because some students imagine getting thrown in a big group and saying go figure out how to kick and listen is very frustrating for them and and our approaches to do always do 11 and get them engraved into good classes so we have a very good flexibility on that and the next one is a overcome obstacles I a lot of the students especially for martial arts we are dealing with teaching them how to deal with fear and I think that's really important and a lot of students give up they don't believe in themselves they don't know if they can do it it special things come when it becomes a physical exercise right they'll complain about I can't do it I can't jump I can't run I can't kick I can't stretch there's so many things that they believe they can you and we show them they can't they can't do it and after they accomplished it they start building up their confidence which is next which we believe is the confidence Factor anything that the urn so we have a belt cyst and those are little goals that ultimately end up becoming a black belt which is a white belt that never quit so they're getting tremendous confidence believing in themselves and I tell the students all the time yes Sports team sports are important but you have to rely on your teammates you got sometimes you got to rely on the best player or you don't get as much playing time and Taekwondo you're the All-Star all the time that all of it is up to you you're working on it you building up and they start to get it they start to realize that the person next to me who does hundred push-ups I don't benefit from that so I feel very confident that the students really really understand about how their comments is built through the what they put in class and then that leads to the possibilities one of the questions I tell my students especially older ones is what is your potential what is potential and your potential is when you decide when it so there is unlimited you in a lot of my black belt students start to realize that and they they take it to school today at home and they they start building up their confidence on doing things so weird we work on that in class and explain that to them then we have the social interaction Parts where students come in and they understand what classroom rules are it's just they're not used to taking turns in Pace sharing so there's a lot of students that really struggle on that system of discipline which martial arts can teach the children rather than yell playing soccer and having fun we do have fun in class but at some point it's a listening and working on their discipline and if that's something that you're at your child will need we're welcome to help them and work with them how to start with our program is a first you would what's a call as a vendor with sdrc sometimes I get no communication with the parents and I just see someone sign up and and whenever we got a new student this month or and and then I have to reach out and call and talk to them so we preferred to have parents approaches talk to us and then we find out what they heard about us through sdrc but really what I'm doing is I'm kind of doing a screen process of what where I will fit and what we need to do to work with them instead of just showing up to class so it's very important to call us and I think that also works with other other places that parents might be interested in going is going in there and talking to them your needs are for your child first before just signing anything up and talking about the building stuff which is important to us and we also have a biggest facility in San Diego for martial arts training I have two rooms out of a big big room for the bigger classes and then I have a smaller room which is a lot quieter more private and that's where we do our one-on-one classes so that way a lot of students aren't distracted or they also have the comfortability of training in a smaller space so we have two rooms available and then lastly is that everything that we teach we're trying to make sure that the students understand that it's about them right it's not that I'm forcing them to do kicks or punches it's about them to improve and once they start improving they build their confidence and start helping others so we use them as examples for students that come in they share they do they do demonstrations in front of the friends and then they communicate with us about how they feel so a lot of progress has been made to teach classes Monday through Saturday privately group classes so we do have that flexibility into hoping that it can fit it to parents busy schedule right cuz they think they can so many classes in therapy so I know it's tough so we try to offer as much time is available for that so that's our program and then I hope that if you have any questions I can answer that now and later I'd like to thank mr. Ashir to help make that fires this is some some pictures of our students every year we do we do in events in a house competition where I invite students to demonstrate that in front of the peer parents families of the community and we trophies in kids love the trophies and we don't give them out for participation by the way they have to earn it they burn it through behavior from school Behavior at home and also you know obviously learning the techniques so kids do everything from breaking to doing forms where it which is really hard to focus where they have to memorize choreographed steps and get them correct you know magic moving on the blue to the left to move to the right go for and even rotate right and even in a pivoting so it's a lot of your motor skills and a lot of discipline to a lot of focus which is you won't be able to do it if the student can't focus I have students turn on verbal I have students who they still have a boy that needs to run five times around the room before we settle down and and work I also last year against didn't. visually impaired and and that was my first experience and he's thriving and he was able to break a board and kick and is doing wonderful things so that right there tells me that there's no limit and the only thing that's stopping them is from starting and all I got to do is come in and try it out and I know a lot of parents kind of sometimes wait I'll maybe it's not for my child now it's for everybody so thank you again for having me here to prevent yes oh yes I do I have it on on there I have some information on what I just explained about how we start our classes are we do assessments and just our general formation I can provide that and it I'll give it to miss about Regina if if she she can provide that to school service coordinators James is 10 he's on the autism spectrum I'm at that went to mastic him to seek if you would consider being then dry so James could have access to taekwondo so this is the result of a parent going to someone and saying you know what you be willing to do this I'm not everybody's going to be willing to do it it took mastic in approximately six months to become a vendor so it is a long process I don't want you guys to think that you know one week you go to a business and within two weeks it's down cuz it's not it's a long hard Road Christian nodal need for the business person Battlestar sdrc that have committee meetings to attend everything so but at the end the result is this my son goes to master came and he's driving so I just wanted to let you know that that's all I wanted you to know Regional Center in San Antonio Mastercam son is three and a half years old but not potty trained I usually will as long as the parents are there and and really meeting your son will be the best thing before I decide cuz I don't want to say yes or no so but potty trained is important because if parent is in a round I won't be able to as well before we even have since you are potty training they still have accidents in the that holds up a lot of a Tigers have to clean it and all that  it really will depend on how your sign is and obviously parents being around there so they are yes we have well because we just our last year so I only have a dozen or so students but we do have one Father and Son taking our family class and guy and they're doing great you know the father comes in does exact size 2 and the sun does exercises and they're also have to collaborate and we do evening classes so it's convenient for parents so yes that's and then we have and that we are working on and sometimes if we do put them in the General Ed classes and they're having another ups and down sometimes we do have that ability where they can toggle between going back to private so we can read your kind of breed communicate with them and then introduce so it's not something it's worth fixed parents to have that flexibility of and sometimes they do tell us like you know my side was doing really good one-on-one you noticed that as soon as he was in the group this procedure is less attention there but it's and we're trying to tell the parents that it does take time and he is learning about you know staying still or communicating so we we try our best to do our best to integrate with they go from anywhere depends on the age go from anywhere 15 minutes all the way to 45 minutes the last question is can you please share your contact information I don't know how this can be provided as far as the flyers I can have that to miss Regina so I think the best way is probably just go through the school coordinators or if you can provide me thank you so much mr. clean one we're going to have a special needs resource Foundation to prison about their program are you thinking that wants to tell me. I am I am with the special needs resource Nation I'm also a mom with a son who is 25 years old with multiple disabilities including epilepsy autism and developmental delay I am delighted to be here today and I want to share with you today is Special Needs resource found a number of things one of our primary works is a magazine called flourishing families for those of you at home I have the cover of bush and families appear on the screen you can also scan into through it with us because what we're going to do today if we just going to walk through the magazine so I laid some magazines on the table out there and I also put a few Post-it notes on the top of it and at home the same thing when you get a magazine which you can pick up at any local library there in all of the library also Poway Unified sometimes has them and many of the service coordinators to Regional Center have the magazine as well because this is sort of like where are the Bible of all the different resources that are in San Diego in Imperial County that you can go to the we're always looking for resources when we find them we put them in here so the Post-it notes I have on the front are so that as we walk through there's a few key because I know you'll want to go back to but you want to kind of keep up with me cuz I'll go rather quickly so we don't take up a whole lot of time and you'll be able to go back and spend time taking a look at all of the pages on your own so I'mma go ahead the first page I want you to open to is on page 3 it looks like this and doesn't look too exciting but it is a page that I would tap because this is one of the pages I come to very often the reason to come pages on the table of contents whenever I'm looking for something I can easily go on here and find out which section I may find the particular thing I'm looking for so go ahead and have that page I had this little tab but then I decided to put the bigger Post-It note so if you wanted to take a note to get off take a note of course this is yours to keep so you can write directly on the Magazine Circle things my magazines gets so beat up for me writing on them because once you have it they come out once a year and I will tell you we're just finishing up 2024 Edition which will be out in around March 15th so you'll start being able to find the new edition which is going to be fantastic in library sometime after March 15th okay so while you're looking through here see a couple of sections that I want you to take note off and one of those sections is this one here that says resources for specific disabilities and then another one that says areas of me will become back to those in just a second if you go ahead if you flip over a couple of pages you're going to see a page that looks like this and I want I was just wanted to stop and show you one of the Articles just find that there's a lot of really amazing art inside of the magazine I love this one it was done by Regional Center by the person who does self determination so if you are self-determination you'll understand this you're not self-determination yet here's a great place to go to kind of understand self-determine a a little bit before you go and take the steps to doing it which it's wonderful if you if you do want to take the time to do stop determination because it does allow you to make a lot of flexibility choices for you and your child okay the next section we're going to go to is the resources for specific disability so I went back to the table of contents to help you out there and so what I'd like you to do is over until you get to well well there's a two-page spread and on there is a section that called resources for specific disability now what a lot of people will do as on this two-page spread the go through and circle any of the disabilities their child or children may have and then you can come back later and in here we've tried finding every resource but that specific disability that's available and so that you don't have to go and do that a lot of moms put these pages together and we know what it's like to try to find something so right here at your fingertips you'll have that information hey Google if you flip we're going to look at a take a look at the areas of need so what I need you to do is go over to page 26 27 years wearing out first we looked at Pacific disability now we're going to look at the need that your child has is they were talking about Recreation is don't show wrecked needs Fitness needs non-medical therapy for talking about those how do you find these reefs horses right we heard a little bit earlier from Regional Center how you know there are so many wonderful resources out there and some of them are not going to be then to rise and some of them will go through with went through to become tenderize but guess what they don't have to go through the vendorization process if there is an agency that maybe some of your neighbors go to that your your child is friends with maybe some neighbors I'm I'm really into how to provide inclusion so what a great space do you know if there's other neighbors that are doing something and they're the typical check your child to go to use those resources and maybe being the the worker at that that resource whether it's a bowling or an arts and crafts but maybe it's softball all the kids on the block or playing on the sauce call Gene and your child can do that as well so as much as we can provide some inclusion I'd love to see that and although our kids need some assistance Regional Center can help us there and they can also help finance that through the social programs I kind of want to put that out there anybody is possible as long as they say they'll do it whether their vendor door not the vendorization does make it easier but once they've gone through it once with a client it'll be much easier for them you can promise them that so I'm on the areas of need we all are going to have different needs for us to our children right so in here you're just going to kind of flipped through I'd like you to go to page I'm not going to bother go to page 36 37 my hands are everywhere on t37 at the top upper right corner you're going to see chance so these are chance that we that it already and they said that they will take children have disability so when you're out there like which camps can can I sign my child up for my child did a lot of the ones that you're going to hear later from San Diego Parks and Rec therapeutic group mother Park my child leather Park so much better 25 and he still doing them and he's been doing them since he was five so there's a lot of wonderful camps out there and sew in here you can start a flip through see the camps and then I'd like you to flip on over to page 38 as I said you're going to come back you can post it note rip your post notification at 2 I wanted to go to page 48 I want to do page 48 because that's where to find Fitness and yoga so here is some other things that you can use for social rod fitness program and I'm going to tell you something and our new addition was really work hard at trying to find more Fitness and more recreation activities to do so that now that there's this funding through Regional Center we wanted to make it easier for families to find the fitness and social programs that are out there so in the new edition you're going to see you even more more place that you can just go through and find I want to make call the place that's ask them if they are vendor eyes if they're not been to rise they would you be willing to you know I take my child if it's a pay through Regional Center by a third-party okay I'm the next place I'd like you to go to is Page 66 66 67 and sorry I'm going through this so quickly I know we're on a time frame here so I want to make sure that way we can get through everything I can answer any questions when we're done I wanted you to stop on this page cuz it's creation page take a look and flip through how many pages are in here already and as I said we're going to have more pages on Recreation and this does not include the horse therapy there's another whole section on horse therapy there's go to that table of contents I asked you to tab you're going to find there's even other areas where you can use that social wreck money for your child next Aaron's oh yeah that was Recreation and I'd like you to go to I just have a couple okay just up here cuz I can't look at all this stuff then I'm going to have you stopover on page 82 82 is another article and this one talks about the importance of having our child long to different social groups and how to be part of those there's also if you look over to the right hand side there's a little article on on therapeutic correct Services again if you haven't used those Services they're really great and I'll be talking to us today this is if you do have a child that's older this this particular program isn't too far away from you it's for older kids but social wrecked their social programs out there for all ages and in the magazine you can find more social programs and I really encourage both children being able to engage with students to are there you know it within the domain of special needs but also in included in with other children as well and then solution and so the next day or two is paid 8480 for its transition to adulthood do I have anyone here who has a child with funeral over so on this this is a super cool section and if you don't have a child is 18 and over disinfection you'll want to still look at because Regional Center record and that we start thinking about that transition when our children are 13 years old so when your 13 you want to start thinking about those transition things and you know what what it is that might be best for your child I love this this is our table section all of these are businesses that are owned and operated by somebody with a disability and I'm not far from you. is anybody heard of thank you thank you in every item in their store has been created by somebody with a disability we have some of those businesses here and our next to Justin's going to have even more businesses in it because the numbers are really growing the amount of people with disabilities better finishing with school and deciding to they want to be entrepreneurs is growing dramatically I mean I think we have four times as many businesses this year as we had last year so it's a growing thing that is it for the magazine but I just want to show you a few other things that I have in here okay you I recommend that you also go to the website so those of you who are at home go over to the website but like I said it's nice to have the paper magazine choose I'll pick one of those up but on the website we have everything that is in the magazine plus more let's remember because the website we can constantly update so even if something is here we're constantly updating the the magazine the the website so when you go to the website go to programs and you're going to see Lewis and family so you can go to special needs resource Foundation I'm going to give you another scan at the so so you'll have you'll be able to scan it if your butt in here you'll be able to flip through the magazine right on there so there's the online magazine or you'll love this you can go to this section and say I want my child to do karate I can just type in karate and all the karate places that will work with children who have disabilities will pop-up if I'm looking for a day who takes children with disabilities were adding a few more dentist from here from Poway who not only take children with disabilities but they're Associated to a hospital because some of our kiddos need to go into a hospital situation when they you have Medical Treatments. Done to their mouth so even just a teeth cleaning they may need that so those are the kind or are a lot of our kiddos or with regional center have medical so you want to make sure you want us to take the medical this is where you're going to find all of those things right so you just type in whatever it is or you can type in the disability and purple pop up all the different businesses that focus on that disability and organization okay now here's what I'd like everyone to do just get your phone and scan on this because even though I went through the magazine and you have the magazine we are constantly getting new info patient and new update new businesses like I don't think we have your business and in here I looked and I didn't see it in the magazine so I'm constantly looking for businesses we do not have if you ever find any you need to let us know because we want to include them but every time we include them we put them online so if you sign up not only will you for the newsletter or whenever the newsletter will also provide you with ongoing activity so we have a calendar of events so you'll get to find out when events are happening and if it's something that you'd want to do it it's not something you're going to get your mailbox all the time I think we do like one newsletter but you can you let least get that you'll know what's happening all the newest stuff that's happening for the disability community in San Diego County so we have all those resources and just go ahead and sign up and you will have access to all of those and everybody at home you can sign up as well I'll just leave that up there since it's my final spring and if somebody's asked me questions on here I can't tell but if there's anybody in the audience at the question I can see that picture let me know any question the magazine thank you for asking that question because I buy talk so fast that I kind of like bird over it right right okay so you can find the magazine I'm at almost any Library okay so do you want are you also know you would Stan Diego family magazine so San Diego family magazine what you will also find libraries is the Umbra of of the company and then under that we have different magazines such as flourishing family so I'm the person who works with flourishing families because I'm in the disability community this is a magazine that family magazine has graciously a created for families in San Diego who have a child with disabilities so that we can find the resources because when I had a child if you was younger it took me forever find resources that could meet his needs so you'll find them there also we're going to be providing the district with 100 of the magazine and we will also be providing Regional Center so you can ask your Center person a service coordinator for a magazine they might be able to help you get one but those are some of the places where you can get one of the magazine while I'm talking about that umbrella Danny go family magazine I was going to share this with you also. couple of other things I'm although this is family magazine and I don't know March April and May Disney March 8th 1 May typically have information about summer camps against the Champs in this year we'd sort of like put the camps that are designed for special needs Community but that doesn't mean you can't another chance if it's a chance it might work for your child so you will find other activities and camps in the typical family magazine and then again we are working families is Under the Umbrella of family magazine there's also another magazine through family magazine that's called out and about you seen these little ones it's really great it's just all kinds of things you can do when you're just out and about in San Diego County and it's for everybody it's not list of people with special needs thank you for that wonderful question okay thank you are a lot of the company Facebook already winterized or is there a certain Mark indicating the window rice company works is not winterized that's an excellent question person from home no just because something is in the magazine does not mean to offend erised and it doesn't mean it isn't her it isn't and we do not indicate whether something has been devised or not an as well because we can't keep in tune with everything happening with the regional center so just as you know somebody might can beat not been through today but they might be better tomorrow so for us to keep a constant log of that we don't have that information I want to press on you for the social Rec funding a business does not need to be the ender eyes my child is using a non-standard business it's a busy who wants to help and support children and people who have disabilities and so they were willing to have my child come to their facility and and work with them and do music and knowing that they're not going to be paid until another month or so but once they get on the system with regional center it's not like they're waiting two months for the next one they just get on a system and it does get easier for them it is challenging maybe for that first 45 days but I just really want people to know you do not have to be been to ride and I'm so thankful for that one of since I'm thankful is because it allows us to go to organization that maybe weren't designed for people with special needs but it allows our children special needs to be included in Community just as it is so we have an opportunity for our children to do some activities in the special needs Community where it's really focused on that and we have an opportunity for our children to be in inclusive environment and be cuz they don't have to be tenderized it allows us to do that to anything and you know it might just be a small you know earlier you don't want to talk about like an animal place might be a place that's got like kids can come in I didn't animals and you take care of animals and it's not some place that has a lot of people coming to it and they can't really go through that whole process because they're going to have two or three kids that come over and do it but guess what can be paid for doing the wonderful thing that they do and making our kids feel special when they're with those animals or whatever they like to do okay yes go ahead you know it is a reason we have some Champs in there tonight California because there are some really cool camps that are not in California that are cheap to go to we don't think about doing that if it's not in front of us and it's not maybe for every child but there are some chance that they are specialized in taking care of children with disabilities and a can could be something where they do an overnight somewhere and you know I never did one out of state but I did I did do Champs with my child who does need a one-on-one and in Julian so he went Julian for a week and he was like a big 9 years old I was very paranoid but the organization had a one-on-one with him it was an epilepsy Camp so there was a nurse there that if you didn't have seizures while he is there something you think take care of everything and it's a scary thing to do I mean it was really scary for me but it was an unforgettable week for my child and an unforgettable week 40 because even my daughter got to see him engaging and having a wonderful time at camp that week so it was hard for us but it was well worth it so that's why we do include out of state because there are some places that are just not here in California job with our kiddos until next time going to have a San Diego Park and Recreation Center hello good morning everybody we are here therapeutic recreation services with the city of San Diego today my name is Haley Marshall

those of you ending virtually you could go to that link and you'll find a digital version of our newsletter there summer programs are very popular and they do sell out there quickly so we do recommend registering as soon as you can summer regular summer programs as well we if you want to bring an aid to those programs we welcome at as well and the AIDS are no cost sometimes in particular we have gone to outing so pretty simple an outing that we've done in the past is doing a stadium tour at the Padres stadium and because that's a ticketed event there have been times where they did need to register because we weren't able to cover that soon some instances there may be times where and it does have to pay but we try to give you as soon as possible all right we're going into our summer nights this is a very popular program throughout the summer and it is for individuals 13 years older against Evelyn's friends are welcome to register as well they are June through August they're typically held on Thursday evenings of course this year Thursday in July falls on Fourth of July so we'll be having it on a Tuesday so sometimes it can fluctuate but regularly we do try to keep it consistent on those Thursdays we'd go around outings around San Diego two nights a month the cost us very per outing we try to try to keep a wide range of that cost some things are a little more expensive but we also try to keep things on the low cost and because we want everyone to be able to attend some programs throughout the summer but with that there are scholarships available we are very lucky enough to have a nonprofit organization Disabled Services advisory Council also known as dsack and so they helped us out a lot with our cost of programming but also providing scholarships for event the summer nights outings do you typically will have 50 to 60 participants per outing we can provide one-on-one supervision if needed so if your child is in need of that extra support just let us know and that is all she determined with assessment cell like Haley Mansion before attending these programs we do require an assessment it's very basic it's just to make sure that we better understand your child and their needs so that we can best support them some typical nice outing to be done in the past like I mentioned we did the San Diego Padres stadium tour we've done dinner and a movie we've done karaoke that is a favorite among the participants they love to put on a whole performance pizza and Bowl we'll do a pool party we've done it at other rec centers we've also gone to The Plunge at Belmont Park night at the zoo harbor cruise SeaWorld Padres games volleyball and bonfire those are just a few that I wanted to mention just give you an idea of what we provide throughout the summer I'm going to pass it back over to Haley and then be on our summer we do also offer some kids own specific summer activities so kids generally know my summer camp for kids with 6 to 12 but KidZone is 3 to 12 years old so in June we do offer a kid Zone activity that's at our facility centered around a central theme it could be under the sea YouTube your favorite play today and we have games and crafts or snacks you name it all around that team we offered to transfer play day so there's a morning session from 10 12:30 and then there's an afternoon session 1:15 to 3:45 and you can choose dependent on what is better suited for you and your schedule and then we have a KZ outing as well and anywhere in San Diego again like going to the you or something as easy as taking the coaster to a park having lunch and coming back out anywhere from the two and a half 24 hours depending on what activity were doing and then those drop off pick up locations very again depend what we're doing where we're going for all of our kids and activities and even our summer camp so we didn't notice but like Taylor said with 12 or supervision we can provide that at any program that we do spend it on your child's knees again at the assessment if we feel that they need that support were there to provide it and if ever we can't provide it because we don't have enough staff support this is something we communicate with you well in advance of that you're we always invite the parents if they would like to attend or they just do more comfortable coming with their always more than welcome to so we'd like to work with you just so everyone's comfortable in August we do another outing and again just like before I could be anywhere in Sandy yeah and that's what her sister might again or she's in a particular outside of camp we do ask that a parent or Guardian attends his very first program that your child just cuz it's a new group Rollo crazy a little while I'm going to make sure they're comfortable in this brand new setting and then after that very first one it can be a drop-off situation for them okay so some general trass dreaming that we offer is so again we have our kids on group the street at 12 this they offer one playdate and one outing per month as well as winter and spring Adventure we try to align as best as possible all the winter break in Spring Breaks but we know kind of different districts Barry on which we you guys are off so we try to work with you as much as we can I can kick back club which is a just 13271 meeting per month and one outing per month typically with our Kickback Club rec night meetings it is always the second Friday of the month again it can vary and it can change and those will be from 5:30 to 8 p.m. you can expect games different activities that will do sometimes you just do night and we'll pop popcorn maybe have breakfast for dinner and watch a movie we do always have dinner provided with that cost and it is always held at our park Taylor Creek Community Center we do also do combined outings with the older adult group sell while we're only mentioning the two groups you'll see and the pamphlet that we have our social motion Club Group which is for 18 and older and we also have our independent Club Group which is for 21 and older and they are for individuals who may have I have a diagnosis but they are fully independent they can paper things on their own they can get from point A to B on by themselves but we do try to again be inclusive and have all of our Christmas programs together we're not trying to exclude anyone that way we also have family events throughout the year so some fun things that we do is our fall festival Winter Carnival is a huge one and the Egg Hunt so a new program that we also had this last fall was our first Turkey Trot so that was a lot of fun and so just some fun things that we also like to include the families to be a part of and it's also a great time for families to connect and you know you guys can share your resources hey where are you sending your child where are you these are they doing and so I think that's something special about our programs is that the parents get to connect as well another thing is is we also provide inclusion outside of our programming so our staff are trained you and for example if your child was doing gymnastic this is a popular once that's why they exempt I'm throwing out the eggs ample if your child is attending gymnastics at Carmel Valley and it's not through Therapeutics is not through why doesn't I'm cracking myself it does have to be through a city of San Diego program so if it's through city of San Diego program like the gymnastics class at Carmel Mountain Ranch Carmel Valley Rec Center and your child has a diagnosis I need that one-on-one support in that class we provided Aid to go with them and be through that class time so that way your child still supported that way they can help them through the transitions throughout that class and we do typically ask you to let us know what the month in advance so that we can get that set up we can have someone scheduled there to be with you and your child and that also does require an assessment once you do the assessment once that's it you don't have to do an assessment for each individual program I want to make that clear as well and then this is our last slide with all of the so it has our community center location which were located in Overland City Heights our main office line again for those of you online. Is our website link and it has our newsletters on there they come out quarterly right now is our spring newsletter that's out for March April and May so probably around end of April beginning of May you'll get the next newsletter for June July and August so it's always in those three months commence that you'll get those that come out again it's Haley and Mayans contact information up top if you are interested as well as people online if you guys have any questions please feel free to call us or you know less we be more than happy to answer any questions that you and last little thing at the bottom there is our volunteer coordinator so if anyone is interested in volunteering or you're looking for volunteer opportunities Michael Rodriguez is the person that you seek out for those volunteer some things that I think we just kind of wanted to know before we end here is in our newsletter some things that I'm going to switch to Steve Pages 6 and 7 we have our special event programs and also our garden programs which Haley also oversees our garden programming I don't know if you want to kind of talk about the garden but anyway it's really cool opportunity we were able to get a community garden there at our facility something that you don't really see it a lot of other rec centers and it's a lot of fun snow are 18 and older if you know someone that's 18 or older have an annual Harvest ball every year the last two years we have been at a rec center and before covid we were actually at hotels and this year we are bringing it back to the hotels and I'm very very excited about it it's going to be a lot of fun it's kind of like a big problem a big formal for our participants it's a very special event that they look forward to every year so something to mention that is on page eight of our newsletter page 9 has all of our summer camps Auntie just 10 and 11 have our weekly day programming events at our facility so we're always offering multiple programs and events for you guys to attend and you'll see on those pages to in the bottom right-hand corner is that code and that's the code you would search up on Str8 connect.com to find and register online and in the bottom of the other side is also the car so you'll see we try to keep programs free or at a low cost for you as well and again those. chips are available for copies at the back please refer you to take all of them

flyers for some bigger events coming up okay yes one of the questions that somebody's rent in regards to a summer camp my daughter is 5 years old now but will be 6 years old in May to my campus and can I see Center up on March just need to be potty trained do you provide a name so if they're going to be 6 by the time of my cam yes you may a sign up now even if they're five right now it'll take into account how old they will be by the time the activities does she need to be potty trained know so are our least a bar called therapeutic recreation leaders which is different from other our lease after at the city we kind of joked that the T and T R L stand for toileting show me some stuff that are allowed and trained to provide a bathroom assistance and that also goes for adult participants as well so they don't need to be potty trained just let us know they're changing the schedule and then yes we can provide at our summer camps as well as long as that is related during the assessment and have let's see what are the questions is when will have the summer opportunities posted on the SD Parks and Rec website info for winter and spring so it's again going to be around early May that
