Henrico Police Athletic League
Disability Accommodation Policy
Nondiscrimination in the Provision of Services to Persons with Disabilities
As a provider of public accommodations, Henrico Police Athletic League (“HPAL”) is proud to serve a diverse community of individuals, including those with disabilities. HPAL is committed to complying with both the letter and spirit of the Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and will work with prospective and current participants with disabilities, and/or their parents/guardians, to ensure that individuals with disabilities are offered full and equal enjoyment to HPAL’s goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and accommodations. HPAL does not discriminate in the provision of services to individuals with disabilities, including children with diabetes, in any HPAL programs including, but not limited to, childcare, camps, before and after-school programs, classes and recreational programs. Accordingly, HPAL will not exclude individuals with disabilities from enrollment. HPAL also will not impose or apply eligibility criteria that tend to screen out or screen out individuals with disabilities.
Prospective or current participants with disabilities, and/or their parents/guardians, may, at any time, request modifications to the HPAL’s policies, practices and procedures and/or request auxiliary aids or services. All requests for modifications or for auxiliary aids and services should be directed to HPAL’s ADA Administrator, Beth Manning, [email protected], (804) 262-4725.
HPAL will work with prospective or current participants in our programs, and/or their parents/guardians, to promptly address all requests for modifications to the HPAL’s policies, practices and procedures and/or for auxiliary aids or services and to determine what reasonable modifications and/or auxiliary aids and services are available. Our goal is to ensure that all participants in our programs with disabilities have access to the full and equal enjoyment of all HPAL programs. Accordingly, HPAL conducts individualized assessments on the specific facts of each request and will not apply a general prohibition against providing particular types of reasonable modifications. HPAL will make reasonable modifications for individuals with disabilities, including children with diabetes, unless the request for modification amounts to a fundamental alteration of the applicable HPAL program or unless permitting the individual to participate in the requested program poses a direct threat (as defined by the ADA) to the health or safety of other individuals. Similarly, HPAL will provide auxiliary aids and services for individuals with disabilities, unless the request for the auxiliary aids or services creates an undue burden or amounts to a fundamental alteration of the applicable HPAL program.
Where a child’s parent or guardian and a child’s physician or other qualified health care professional deem it appropriate (based on the child’s current health status) for a layperson to provide diabetes care to a child that is a current or prospective enrollee in Henrico PAL’s programs, training child care staff members to administer routine diabetes care is generally a reasonable modification under the ADA. Reasonable modifications shall include, but are not limited to supervising, assisting with, and performing the following diabetes care tasks: blood glucose monitoring, ketone monitoring, treating low blood glucose, administering insulin by any method of delivery, administering glucagon, monitoring any other diabetes-related medical equipment; and permitting such children to eat and drink as required to address their diabetes management, while participating in any program, service or activity, unless Henrico PAL can demonstrate that making the modifications would fundamentally alter its goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations. See 42 U.S.C. § 12182(b)(2)(A)(ii); 28 C.F.R. § 36.302.
HPAL prohibits retaliation against any individual for exercising their rights to request and/or receive a modification to HPAL’s policies, practices and procedures or auxiliary aids and services. HPAL further prohibits retaliation against any individual who in good faith participates in any investigation or proceeding related to a request for modification to HPAL’s policies, practices and procedures or auxiliary aids and services.
For current or prospective participants with diabetes, HPAL has provided a Sample Diabetes Medical Management Plan with this Handbook, and it is also available on HPAL’s website.
