Inclusion Services

You must sign up for a general interest recreation program or camp before you sign up for inclusion support. Register for one-to-one support using the barcode.

If registering for the Playgrounds summer program, register first using the one-to-one support barcode and then contact the Community Recreation Coordinator of Inclusion Services at 365-282-6032 or at inclusionservices@ajax.ca.

For more information about one-to-one support barcodes, contact the Community Recreation Coordinator of Inclusion Services at 365-282-6032 or at inclusionservices@ajax.ca.

You can request support for one general interest program per session, and up to three weeks of support in summer camps.

A limited number of inclusion support spaces are open each session. Ajax will do its best to find support. It is not certain that an inclusion staff or volunteer will be available for the program that you request.

• After you register in a one-to-one support barcode, the Inclusion Supervisor will reach out to you. If staff or volunteers are not available for the program you asked for, the Supervisor will let you know.All new families asking for one-to-one support must come to a meeting with the Community Recreation Supervisor of Inclusion Services to fill out an information form. The meeting will take an hour.

If the participant of inclusion services is not in a program or camp anymore or will be absent, contact the Community Recreation Supervisor of Inclusion Services at 365-282-6032 or at inclusionservices@ajax.ca.

An inclusion support staff will be on site to lend assistance, provide adaptations and ease in the transition into a drop-in program.  No registration is required. Contact the Community Recreation Supervisor of Inclusion Services at 905-619-2529 ext. 7259 to express interest in accessing the program.

Participants should be able to independently participate in a 1:6 ratio.

Multisensory Space – FREE

Multisensory rooms/spaces are dedicated spaces that control a sensory environment and allow individuals of all ages and abilities to come in and use various equipment to meet their own sensory needs and goals. Multisensory spaces allow for the equipment and the room to be adjusted to meet the needs of the individual using the space to provide the level of sensory stimulation they benefit from. Using a multisensory space can have a variety of positive benefits, including but not limited to calming/relaxation, sensory stimulation, fine and gross motor skill development, communication development, socialization and more. The Multisensory Space Drop-In at the Town of Ajax is designed with this adaptability in mind.
