Participant Eligibility/Registering for In-Person Programs
NISRA continues to follow the guidelines of the Restore Illinois phases and health authorities, and there are eligibility
requirements for in-person programs. Participants will need to be able to comply with safety requirements such as the following:
•Ability to maintain 6 feet of physical distance from others
•Ability to put on, wear, and remove a cloth face covering when necessary, for the duration of the program
•Ability to perform personal care independently (hand washing, toileting, other hygiene, eating)
•Ability to function in a 1:4 staff to participant ratio
•Participate with visual and verbal prompting without the need for physical re-direction
•Ability to follow NISRA’s Behavior Code of Conduct and other guidelines
•Have a current Annual Information Form on file
Full details are on pages 25-28. Included is an Assessment Questionnaire that is required if the participant wants to be
considered for in-person programs.
Are in-person programs a good fit?
Your answers to these questions may help you decide whether to proceed with submitting an Assessment Form:
•Can the participant maintain 6 feet of physical distance from others?
•Is the participant able to put on, wear, and remove a cloth face covering when necessary, for the duration of the program?
•Can the participant perform personal care independently (hand washing, toileting, other hygiene, eating)?
•Can the participant do the activities in a 1:4 staff to participant ratio, with visual and verbal prompting without the need
for physical assistance or re-direction?
•Can the participant demonstrate safe behavior toward him or herself and other throughout the duration of the program?
You answered “Yes” to all of the questions and the participant is interested in potentially joining in-person programs. We
encourage you to complete and submit the Assessment Questionnaire as soon as possible. Then staff will review it promptly
and notify you of your status to register for in-person programs.
If you completed the Questionaire for the summer or fall program session, we have it on file! You do not need to complete it
again. Questions? Contact Emily at etodd@nisra.org.
You cannot answer “Yes” to all of the questions and comply with the requirements at this time. Virtual programs are
available now and there will be upcoming opportunities to re-assess as Restore Illinois progresses and the guidelines change.
We encourage you to call us to explore which programs are potentially the best fit for the participant’s abilities and interests.
