Create An Inclusive Environment To Give Children The Opportunity To Grow And Learn Together

This environment must be fostered in the classroom and out. Providing accessible playground equipment is a vital part of creating a completely inclusive environment. Don’t assume that your kids are getting enough exercise at recess or during PE. The majority of high school students are not enrolled in any kind of physical education program.

When you include a playground that promotes inclusion, your students will have the ability to have fun and socialize freely and in their own way. Multiple play elements, like Adaptive Swing Seats, a Music Center and various play panels, give children options and the freedom to choose.

Inclusiveness promotes play

When children make clear choices about play, their autonomy and determination should be encouraged, permitted and supported where possible.
Children might, however, communicate the same feelings of fun and pleasure but in different ways using their individual communication strengths.

When you design your playground or look to make additions or renovations ask yourself these questions. Was your playground structures and surrounding areas designed to be inclusive? Is it boundless or does it include an access ramp? Does the structure have a Transfer Station and include multiple play events on all levels?

Set aside time to practice fitness activities as a family. Get creative and accommodate everyone’s speed and fitness levels.

Creating an inclusive environment, not only by meeting requirements but by promoting the educational philosophy, will allow your children to succeed in and out of the classroom, now and in the future.
