ILO EVENT POLICY INFORMATION

ILO events are meant to be inclusive, fun, and informative for self-advocates of differing ages and abilities.

One-on-One Support Policy
When considering an ILO event or activity for the first time for a self-advocate, families are encouraged to make arrangements for a one-on-one support to attend with your self-advocate.

ILO reserves the right to determine any individual’s further program participation if a one-on-one is deemed necessary. If no one-on-one support is provided for an event yet deemed necessary, ILO reserves the right to request the self-advocate be picked up ASAP.

Drop Off and Pick Up Policy
If you are dropping off, please accompany your self-advocate into the program site and make sure ILO staff is on site. Members must be signed into each event. Please be respectful and abide by published start and end times.

Public Health & Safety Guidelines
ILO will adhere to all local, state, and national policies and guidelines related to public health and safety. ILO requires anyone involved in an ILO event or activity to be pro-active and cooperative in doing their part to protect themselves and others.

This includes:
• Not attending an ILO event if you are not feeling well, have any symptoms of illness.
• Not attending an ILO event if you have been in direct contact with anyone who is sick.
• Wearing a mask around others, as requested, even if you are not symptomatic.
• Washing your hands often.
• Social distancing yourself from others (staying at least 6 feet away from others).

Event Cancellation Policy
Events or activities may be cancelled due to inclement weather or instructor/therapist illness, or federal, state, or local regulations. If possible, the event will be rescheduled. Participants will be notified by email and through social media in a timely manner.

Photograph and Video Release
ILO events may be photographed, videotaped, or recorded. Images will be used by ILO for promotional and informational purposes but will not be sold for use by anyone else.

Information Change
It is the responsibility of the self-advocate, family, or their caregivers to promptly inform ILO of any changes to contact and/or emergency information.
