Extracurricular Activities

School district should take steps to provide nonacademic and extracurricular services and activities so that children with disabilities have an equal opportunity to participate.

Nonacademic and extracurricular services and activities may include:

• Counseling services;
• Athletics;
• Transportation;
• Health services;
• Recreational activities;
• Special interest groups which provide assistance to people with disabilities;
• Referrals to agencies which provide assistance to people with disabilities; and
• Employment of students, including both employment by the school and assistance in making outside employment available.

If students without disabilities are given an opportunity to attend extracurricular activities, students with disabilities must be given the same opportunity.

If you have questions about nonacademic or extracurricular services and activities, call The Arc at 734-729-9100.
