Introduction

Twenty years ago the Cuyahoga Special Education Regional Resource Center along with the NE Ohio Parent Mentors, the Ohio Coalitionfor the Education of Children with Disabilities, and the Arc of Greater Cleveland came together to offer families in the greater Cleveland area an opportunity to share resources, contacts and their passion for independence, self-determination and community inclusionfor students and young adults with diverse needs. The purpose of their collaborationwas to ensure that students have access to opportunities that expands their academic and social-emotional needs. Today the State Support Team ofRegion 3, along with Educational Service Center of Cuyahoga, continue to work with school districts, community partners and families to offer professional development focused on Universal Design for Learning, Positive Behavior and Interventions and Supports, and Evidenced Based Early Literacy and Post-Secondary Transition supports. Thank you to the Greater Cuyahoga area for your continued support!

Summer is just around the corner and parents are beginning to think about what activities will be available to offer their children for the summer as well as throughout the year. This familiar task is often a little more challenging for families of children with disabilities. In fact, individuals withdisabilities may benefit from recreational opportunitiesthroughout the year.

The State Support Team Region 3 (SST3) offers the 2019 Summer and Beyond Directory as a resource to parents, family members and school district personnel about extended opportunities aroundthe Cuyahoga County area. Please visit our website www.escneo.org throughout the summer for updates to our directory.

The information in this directory is meant to be used as a reference and should notbe considered comprehensive or an endorsement of any program or product. We do not make recommendations concerning the quality of these programs and strongly encourage readers to call the contact persons listed for clarification and explanation of their programs.

You may also contact your local community recreation departments, schools, county library branches, YMCA, YWCA, Scouts of America, and local cultural arts and entertainment centers for additional programs or activities.

Keep this book handy for NEXT YEAR’S planning!
