The Community <br />Services Department provides opportunities for qualified individuals with disabilities to <br />participate in inclusive programs as well as programs specifically designed for persons with <br />disabilities. <br /> Coordinate with Pleasanton Paratransit and WHEELS Dial‐a‐Ride to offer subsidized <br />transportation for specific RADD programming. <br /> Expand inclusion programming to allow RADD participants the opportunity for more “hands‐on” <br />job training classes, to improve their potential for finding employment. <br /> Explore potential cooperative agreements with other Tri‐Valley communities unable to provide <br />programming opportunities for the developmentally disabled. <br /> In coordination with other agencies and non‐profits increase the availability of summer <br />programs, after school programs, independent living programs, and job training programs <br />specific to youth with disabilities. <br /> Coordinate programming with like organization such as the <br />Keystone Adult Learning Center who provides support to family <br />caregivers and living skills to adults with developmental <br />disabilities. <br /> <br /> <br />Strengthen Outdoor Recreation Experiences <br /> <br />Strengthen outdoor recreation experiences by connecting children and <br />families with nature and open space to increase the user’s appreciation <br />of natural resources and foster a sense of stewardship. Studies <br />continue to find that children who experience the natural world are <br />healthier in every major way, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and <br />physically. Some research indicates that electronic media use by young <br />adults and youth has increased to more than 50 hours a week. <br /> <br />Recommended Actions <br /> <br /> Expand passive and active outdoor programs for families, <br />neighborhood oriented walks, foot races, or bicycle events to <br />provide safe venues for physical activity. <br /> Collaborate with Pleasanton Unified School District science programs, East Bay Regional Park <br />District, Audubon Society, and other organizations to offer programs in environmental <br />education and interpretation to develop stewardship for natural resources and instill an <br />appreciation for the natural environment. <br /> Implement Safe Routes to Schools and Parks via a joint Pleasanton/ Pleasanton Unified School <br />District project to encourage walking to and from schools and parks. A goal of the program is to <br />increase the outdoor activities of families by providing incentives for non‐automotive <br />transportation and providing additional opportunities to interact with the natural environment. <br /> Adopt the Outdoor Bill of Rights connecting children with the outdoors and California history. <br /> Develop new living history and natural history programming at Alviso Adobe Community Park <br />aimed at families and school field trips. <br /> Utilize other recreational programming to promote Pleasanton’s sustainability actions and <br />outdoor recreation programming. <br />California Children’s <br />Outdoor <br />Bill of Rights <br />Every child should have the <br />opportunity to: <br /> Discover California’s <br />Past <br /> Splash in the water <br /> Play in a safe place <br /> Camp under the <br />stars <br /> Explore nature <br /> Learn to swim <br /> Play on a team <br /> Follow a trail <br /> Catch a fish <br /> Celebrate their <br />heritage <br />Adopted by the CA Roundtable in <br />2007
