The City of Edina believes that each person has the right to participate
in the activities of his or her choice. For residents with disabilities,
the City offers many adaptive recreation programs. In addition, the City
offers support in general recreation programs through Inclusion, the
process of providing help for individuals with disabilities to participate
in general park and recreation programs.
For over 25 years, the Adaptive Recreation and Learning Exchange (AR&LE)
has been a leader in providing options for people with disabilities to
participate in programs and activities that are specifically designed to
meet their diverse needs.
What is AR&LE?
AR&LE is made up of two parts- Adaptive Recreation (AR) and the
Learning Exchange (LE)
Adaptive Recreation: The cities of
Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina and Richfield each have programs that
are specifically designed for people with disabilities of all ages.
These programs include: softball, bowling, swimming lessons, fitness
programs, skiing/snowboarding, basketball, as well as a number of social
activities for both youths and adults.
Learning Exchange: The school districts of
Bloomington, Edina, Eden Prairie and Richfield Community Education
Adults with Disabilities programs are working together to offer
customized classes for adults with developmental and/or physical
disabilities. Classes include cooking, independent living skills, health
& fitness and other leisure learning activities.
Profiles
Individuals with disabilities need to fill out a
participant profile. The participant profile information is shared with
program staff so that they can be aware of any health, medical and special
needs issues that pertain to the participant. Individuals who wish to
provide support or work with the participants must complete a professional
profile. In order to be on the AR&LE mailing list, complete a profile and
return it.
