Description

Most, if not all schools have students with disabilities and the school provides these students with accommodation, modifications and services that they need. The one thing most of these schools do not have is appropriate equipment on playgrounds for their students with disabilities. Playgrounds at schools often are on ledges, have rough surfaces like woodchips and play equipment that is not safe or suitable for students with disabilities. This can be specifically difficult for students with physical disabilities who can’t access equipment like slides or swings on a noninclusive playground. This research will dive into how inclusive playgrounds at schools will benefit all students, families and the community.
