Q: Can children with special needs participate in HSO?
A: Summer Show-Offs has a large staff and can accommodate a limited number of children with special needs. However, the Holiday Show-Offs program is structured differently. Because of the complexity of the production and our smaller staff, we want to ensure our ability to service the needs of every child before confirming your registration.
If your child has special needs:
-
After you complete your child's record in our registration system, select manual payment as your payment method rather than paying online.
-
Email our director (cecile@summershowoffs.com) so that she can speak with you directly about your child's needs and our availability.
