Every child who comes to the playground should be able to play on developmentally and age appropriate equipment. This presentation provides an overview of inclusive playground design, the importance of the planning process, and how the design process needs to focus on the child before any playground equipment is selected.

Topic: Creating a playspace that attracts all abilities. 

Presentation with Ian Proud, Director of Insights & Outreach at Playpower, Inc. 

Learning Outcomes:

1. Discuss the terms “accessible” and “inclusive” as they relate to playground design.
