A person with a brain injury may want different kinds of recreational activities than those offered to a person with mental retardation or other developmental disabilities. A monthly calendar is sent out to each person and the individual can choose what he or she would like to do for that month. These activities are offered both during the day and evening upon request. Eligibility for this service is open to any person who is actively enrolled with Butler County's MRDD Adult Program, and who sustained a brain injury before the age of 22. For future events please click on the Recreation Calendar button to the left.
Many groups offer scholarships through their programs.
For example, the YMCA and the Fitton Art Center have funds available. Each year a golf outing is held in October to help raise scholarship monies for recreation purposes. These funds are available to individuals to help them better access the community. If you or someone you know is in need of financial assistance to participate in a recreation activity, please call Connie Mehlman and request an application. Therapeutic Recreation for the Disabled, Inc. Scholarships are available to individuals with disabilities who have a financial need.
