Register by January 11!
Greetings!
We’re offering a six-week winter session in this brochure.
Spring will follow as a separate session and brochure due
to the ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic. The spring
brochure will not be printed and mailed.
It was wonderful being back together again in the fall, so
we’re planning a few in-person programs again.
Please continue to share your thoughts and ideas at info@
nisra.org or 815-459-0737.
In-Person Programs Update
In order to comply with the guidelines of the Illinois Depart-
ment of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control,

Do you need access to a computer to view the brochure?
Would you like to register online? NISRA now has a
registration station in the lobby of our office, where you
can go online and we will provide assistance. Be sure to
check our office hours by calling 815-459-0737 before
coming over.
NISRA implemented an Eligibility Assessment. Those who
wish to participate in-person must go through the Assessment
process (form available in this brochure).
For those who completed the Assessment and
participated in the late summer or fall programs, we
have your form on file and there is no need to submit a
new one.
For those who want to consider in-person programs, please
see page 8 for some guidance. Then submit the Assessment
Form as soon as possible because your registration will be
pending until your participation is approved.
Finally, we’re hopeful that when the Winter session starts,
there won’t be a spike in COVID-19 cases, and we’ll be
able to continue our streamlined check-in at programs.
Please check our website, Facebook page, and your Distinguished Agency Accreditation

Holiday Fashion Show...the Silver 25th
?
What’s
new
with the NISRA Foundation
What a year to remember! Not only was it the 25th anniversary of our event, it was completely virtual. A major thank you
to everyone who joined us online for the features that we enjoy: the tree raffles, diamond raffle, silent and live auctions, and
especially the fashion show with NISRA program participants modeling. Some of us tasted delicious items from the Take Home
Party Boxes while participating in the show. New this year was a Fund the Future video, featuring Eve, who has participated in
NISRA programs for all of its 44 years. The video can be viewed on NISRA’s YouTube channel: NISRACrystalLake.
The dedication of so many volunteers and businesses drive the success of this event. We couldn’t do it without the generosity of:

NISRA thanks the following organizations that made contributions from August - November 2020:

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 23-26. 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 Kara at kdavid@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.
