 Residential
programs at Cunningham are supported by special therapy
activities that take place during leisure time, and
include recreation, music, art and spiritual therapeutic
programming. Children with severe emotional and behavior
problems respond to the social interaction and creative
challenges involved in recreational therapy and will
engage themselves as active participants.
Cunningham is a member of the Illinois Interagency Athletic
Association (IIAA), an organization that encourages
and rewards good sportsmanship over winning in athletic
competitions. Teams from Cunningham participate in IIAA
soccer, swimming, softball, volleyball, basketball,
bowling and track and field competitions. Children and
youth from Cunningham also enjoy IIAA arts and crafts
and creative writing activities, as well as the annual
picnic with Illinois State University therapeutic recreational
students.
