Participation in our program begins with you contacting your Regional Center Service Coordinator and telling them you'd like to join our program. You can share our Social Recreation Announcement Flyer and Sample Calendar of Events with them to assist in this process.
Your Service Coordinator will then:
Work with you to determine the number of Social Recreation hours you will receive each month
They will then send an authorization of services to Shield of Dreams (admin@shieldofdreams.com) with your approved number of monthly hours.
STEP 2: Intake Meeting & Signup
Once we receive the authorization from the Regional Center, Shield of Dreams will schedule an intake meeting with you. During this meeting, we will:
Learn about your Social Recreation interests and preferences
Review any special support needs you may have
Identify appropriate activities that you'd like to participate in
Help you sign up to become a member in our Social Recreation Program
STEP 3: Active Membership
Once we approve the registration/sign-up you submitted, you will become an Active Member of Shield of Dreams' Social Recreation Program.
You can then:
Log into your account via the web or mobile app (Wild Apricot for Members app)
View the calendar of events
Register & "Pay" for events using your Social Recreation Hours
(If you run out of Social Recreation Hours, you can still attend events but will have to pay the non-Member equivalent dollar amount.)
NOT A REGIONAL CENTER PARTICIPANT ?
If you'd like to participate in our Social Recreation Program, but aren't authorized by a Regional Center, you can still sign up for our services and pay the non-Member dollar amount for each event you'd like to attend.
