Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association (NISRA)

Do you know someone with a disability who would like to go out, have fun, and make friends? Since 1976, NISRA has provided recreation programs for people with disabilities through meaningful, recreation experiences. Socializing, building physical skills, learning, relaxation, and fun are some of the benefits gained from participating in NISRA's year round activities. Sports, fitness, social, cultural, outdoor and preschool programs, along with camps, special events, and trips offer enjoyment for children, teens, and adults of all ability levels. NISRA also offers Special Olympics training and competition in 15 sports.
