White paper
Truly inclusive – the reward of thrill in universal play designs
To what degree can non-specialised play equipment be accessible to children with special needs?
Children of all abilities want thrilling play activities with friends.
This study examines the degree to which non-specialized, age-appropriate play equipment and playgrounds can be usable by both children with mobility and learning needs and able-bodied children. Good inclusive playgrounds aren’t more complicated, more time-consuming or bigger than other playgrounds. Read the white paper to make well-informed decisions about what kind of playgrounds are truly inclusive and thrilling for all users. Cooperative play between children with disabilities and able-bodied children is beneficial to all. It improves self-efficiency, tolerance, and empathy in both groups. KOMPAN’s aim is to make playgrounds more inclusive, by drawing upon universal play formulas. Simply stated: we want to unite children in play.
