Families need to be referred by the Department of Mental Retardation. The Community Leisure Facilitator (CFL) meets individually with each family to identify the child’s interests and abilities. The CFL then searches out and assists the family in linking up with appropriate, available community resources. Activities might include scouting programs, sports teams, dance, horseback riding, etc. The CFL also maintains a list of activities and sends out a periodic newsletter to all of the families. The CFL has also started a unified Special Olympics soccer team (where each disabled athlete is paired with a partner) for children.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://arccommunityservices.org/recr.chil.body.shtml"><P>For more information, please contact ARC Community Services at (978) 343-6662 or email us at <A href="http://arccommunityservices.org/mailto:recreation@arccommunityservices.org">recreation@arccommunityservices.org</A>.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BC4DA5A4-3154-46BA-91D9-E2EA9FF32D03/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
