1. Seizure Type (please check):
* Generalized tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal seizures) are the most common and best known type of generalized seizure. They begin
with stiffening of the limbs (the tonic phase), followed by jerking of the limbs and face (the clonic phase).
* Myoclonic seizures are rapid, brief contractions of bodily muscles, which usually occur at the same time on both sides of the body.
Occasionally, they involve one arm or a foot. People usually think of them as sudden jerks or clumsiness.
* Atonic seizures produce an abrupt loss of muscle tone. They produce head drops, loss of posture, or sudden collapse. Because they are
so abrupt, without any warning, and because the people who experience them fall with force, atonic seizures can result in injuries to the
head and face. Protective headgear is sometimes used by children and adults.
* Absence seizures (petit mal seizures) are lapses of awareness, sometimes with staring, that begin and end abruptly, lasting only a few
seconds. There is no warning and no after-effect.
* Simple partial show no loss of consciousness. Sudden jerking, sensory phenomena. Lasts about 90 seconds.
* Complex partial last about 1-2 minutes in which consciousness is impaired or lost. May have an aura. Symptoms include: Automatisms
such as lip smacking, picking at clothes, fumbling. They may be unaware of the environment and may wander. Following the seizure they
are often unaware of the seizure event and can be confused and sleepy.
* Status epilepticus If seizures are prolonged, or occur in a series, there is an increased risk of status epilepticus. The term literally means a
continuous state of seizure.

PARTICIPANT ABSENCE
If your participant is not going to attend a program for which
you are registered, please notify the WSSRA office as soon as
possible. Make sure you leave a voice mail if you call after our
office has closed for the day.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Some participants in WSSRA programs and special events may
be carriers of infectious disease(s). Staff and volunteers have
been provided in-service training concerning proper hygienic
procedures. WSSRA seeks to provide a safe environment for all
of our participants, staff, volunteers, and the public. If you have
specific questions, please call the WSSRA executive director or
superintendent of safety & operations.
WSSRA TRANSPORTATION
Transportation by WSSRA is available for some programs and
with an additional fee. When offered, transportation information
and fees are noted in a program’s registration information in
this program guide. All riders must abide by the following
WSSRA guidelines. Failure to do so will result in suspension from
transportation. Repeat offenders will not be transported by WSSRA.
· Riders must stay in their seat with a seatbelt on at all times.
· Riders must not deface the vehicle.
· Riders must keep their hands and feet to themselves.
· Eating is not permitted on WSSRA vehicles.
· Parents or participants must notify WSSRA in regard to any change in transportation.
· Any registration received after September 11 may result in a
late program start or no transportation.
· Parents are requested to notify their child’s school on days
the child will be picked up by WSSRA.
· A participant under the age of 16 must be taken off of the

CAR SEATS
Due to state legislation, car seats or boosters must be provided
for all children ages seven and under. For more information
contact the superintendent of safety & operations.
wssra.net44
MEDICATION
It is the parent/guardian and participant’s responsibility to
inform WSSRA of any medication a participant is taking. This
information is important in case of an emergency. Medication
information should be noted ion the registration forms, as well
as the annual information form. Any changes in medication
should be communication to WSSRA.
SEIZURES
Participants who have had a seizure must complete a seizure
information form prior to beginning programs. Please see page
_ for this form. Forms can be found on the WSSRA website,
scanned & emailed, or mailed to you. Forms need to be updated
as changes with the seizures or medication occurs.
INSURANCE
The association takes every reasonable precaution to prevent
injuries and accidents from occurring. However, if an accident
does occur or if you or your participant is injured, you are solely
responsible for any costs incurred or caused by an injury that
happens in an association program.
WAIVER OF LIABILITY
WSSRA is insured through a self-insurance pool with other
special recreation associations and park districts. Our pool is
known as the park district risk management agency (pdrma). As
a loss prevention measure, pdrma is requiring participants to
execute a release of liability for programs. The reverse side of
the registration forms contains the WSSRA waiver release form.
This must be signed and returned to the WSSRA office before a
participant can be in programs each season.
Since we do not carry medical or accident insurance for program
participants, the release of liability is necessary. The cost of such
coverage would make our program fees to high for most to
afford. Please review your personal health plan to be certain that
you and your family have coverage in instances like these.
Our objective is to offer a high-quality program at a reasonable
cost. The use of a release of liability, when appropriate, is
but one way we are trying to meet that objective. If you have
questions, call the WSSRA executive director. We appreciate
your continued involvement and support.
NON-RESIDENT POLICY
WSSRA programs are limited to people who live in the WSSRA
partner districts and villages. If you live outside of the WSSRA
communities and are interested in participating in a special
recreation program, call your park district or village recreation
department. Call the WSSRA executive director for more
information.
