Key Elements of Inclusive Playgrounds

05/07/2024

 1. Ramps :  Allow children in wheelchairs to move easily throughout the playground area.

 2. Special Equipment : Swings with back support, sensory panels, musical elements, and tactile games.

Please remember that the decision to use specific elements on the playground is always the decision of parents as they are those who know their children's needs. 

3.  Rest Areas : Provide opportunities to relax and recharge, which is especially important for children with limited physical abilities. Additionally, enclosed areas for calm play, socializing, and reading books - ideal spaces for children on the autism spectrum disorder.

 4. Parent Facilities : Seating areas, sunshades make the playground comfortable for parents or caregivers. Many playgrounds also feature book exchange boxes for free book swapping.
