REGISTER
PRPH welcomes all individuals who have developmental disabilities. Participation is contingent on approval for services by the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). Participants must have either a qualifying diagnosis of mental disability, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, neurological impairment, autism, or a closely related condition OR have an impairment of intellectual functioning (FSIQ <70) or functional limitations with a substantial handicap. Individuals who do not meet these criteria may participate but at higher program fees.
Eligibility
Registration Procedures
New Participants- All new participants have an assessment interview prior to registration and participation. A New Participant Registration Information Packet must be completed prior to participation.
Returning Participants - Program participation is on a space-available basis. Priority is given to returning participants up until the registration deadline. Registration forms and payments must be received by the registration deadline to ensure a returning participant space. All prior program fees (including the annual registration fee) must be current before registrations can be accepted unless other arrangements are discussed and approved in advance.
Program Fees
There are participation fees for most programs. This is a small percentage of the actual program costs. Program fees are designated for each program and are payable by session. Program fees are due two weeks prior to the first date of a program block. NO REFUNDS will be made for missed programs. Credits are given for programs cancelled due to weather or other circumstances.
A $50 registration fee is required for participation in any of the programs and is renewed
annually.
Weather Advisory/Cancellations
PRPH programs will not meet if a local school (Carmel, Brewster, Mahopac) is closed. An early dismissal will not automatically result in a program cancellation. Imminent probability of inclement weather 2 hours before, during, or after a program will cause that program to be cancelled. Cancellation notices are posted on the PRPH Website – www.prphny.org OR visit 845/914 Storm Center at 914 www.stormcenter.info.for closing information. In the event of other cancellations, like power outages or lack of participants, every effort will be made to contact participants directly. Participants will be credited for the cancelled programs.
