Playgrounds Designed for Everyone

We know that play helps children develop emotionally, physically, socially, and cognitively. Spaces expressly created for the purpose of play, such as school or community playgrounds, provide important conduits for children’s well-being.

But what if a disability makes it harder for a child to join in on the playground? If a space is only equipped with slides and swings that aren’t geared toward children with disabilities, it’s unlikely they or their parents will spend much time there.
