WELCOME! We would like to extend the invitation for you to take part in the variety of programs offered through the Adaptive Recreation & Learning Exchange Partnership (AR&LE). The information provided here should give you a closer look and better understanding of how our program works and where to acquire additional information that you may need. For over 30 years the Adaptive Recreation and Learning Exchange (AR&LE) has been a leader in providing options for people with disabilities to participate in programs and activities that are specifically designed to meet their diverse needs.

WHAT IS AR&LE? AR&LE is made up of two parts - Adaptive Recreation “AR” and Learning Exchange “LE”.

Adaptive Recreation: The cities of Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina and Richfield each have programs that are specifically designed for people of all ages with disabilities including; softball, bowling, swimming lessons, fitness programs, skiing/snowboarding, golf, as well as a number of social programs for both youth and adults.

Learning Exchange: The school districts of Bloomington, Edina, Eden Prairie and Richfield Community Education Adults with Disabilities programs are working together to offer customized classes for adults with developmental and/or physical disabilities. Classes include cooking, independent living skills, health and fitness, and other leisure learning activities.

PROGRAM CATALOG AR&LE publishes a program catalog three times a year with descriptions of all programs to be offered for the upcoming season. This is sent out to all the participants and professionals who are on our mailing list. Electronic copies of the current AR&LE program catalog are available via the Internet at: www.BloomingtonMN.gov, and enter keywords “Adaptive Recreation” in the search engine.

PROFILES In order to be on our mailing list, each person must complete a profile. Individuals with disabilities who participate in AR&LE programs should fill out a Participant profile. With the completed profile, the information is then available to the program staff so that they can be aware of any health, medical and special needs issues that pertain to the participant. Those individuals who provide support to, or work with the participant, should complete a Professional profile. After requesting a profile from any of the AR&LE staff or filling out and printing an online copy from www.BloomingtonMN.gov, return the completed profile to the address below or scan and email to [email protected].
