Evergreen Park and Recreation District’s (EPRD) Special Needs Program (http://www.evergreenrecreation.com/Youth_Activities/Special_Needs.htm) contributes to the growth and development of persons with developmental disabilities and their families. It increases their opportunities to participate in community, recreation, leisure and cultural programs, as well as activities to build daily living skills. Programs and services help prepare persons who are disabled to become as socially, emotionally, and intellectually independent as possible.
