Qualified individuals with disabilities will be provided with reasonable accommodations in order to participate in programs. Call Carey Overstreet at 303-730-4608 for further information. Classes are open to all as long as age and skill requirements are met.”

Drop-Off PolicyClasses and Trips are scheduled to start and end at the times listed in the brochure. Please note we are not responsible for participants prior to the start of programs or once the program has ended. If a participant uses Access-a-Ride, please communicate the pick-up and drop-off times to staff, we will do our best to accommodate you.

Late Pick-Up Fee If your ride arrives 10 minutes later than the designated pick-up time, you will be charged $10 and an additional $3 charge will be assessed for every 5 minutes after the first charge. Consideration will be made for bad weather or roads. Late fees are due and will be collected at the time of pick-up. Staff will call you after ten minutes and if staff is unable to reach your ride after thirty minutes, the proper authorities will be notified.

Code Of ConductIndividuals are encouraged to act in a way that will not hurt another person physically, mentally or emotionally. A participant may be asked to withdraw from a class or program if behavior does not comply with the facility and program standards.

DisciplineProgram staff will discuss the Code of Conduct withparticipants periodically throughout the program session. A positive approach is used when disciplining participants. If inappropriate behavior occurs, staff will develop a solution specific to each situation as it arises. If a participant’s behavior is detrimental to themselves or others, a parent or guardian will be called and required to pick-up the participant immediately. The STAR staff reserves the right to dismiss a participant whose behavior endangers themselves or others.


InclusionEveryone gains from inclusion. Individuals gain new Friendships, new recreation skills and a better understanding of one another. Our goal is to provide an environment where individuals with disabilities come together with their peers participating in any recreation class or activity that South Suburban provides.

In some cases, individuals with disabilities may bring a friend or family member to assist the participant in class. If this is not possible, a trained volunteer or staff person may be provided.

If individuals need assistance to participate in a program, or to choose a general recreation class, call the STAR Program office at least three weeks prior to the class start date to discuss possibilities.

NOTE: You must notify your one-to-one inclusion instructor 24 hours in advance if you will not be attending your scheduled class, otherwise there will be a $15 charge.
