Special needs: Build a Playground Toolkit From KaBoom! "Who are the people in your neighborhood? Over one in ten children, and even more adults, live with a disability. Is your playspace a place that welcomes people with special needs? Your current playspace might never be used by children and adults with disabilities, but perhaps it's because they can't access the playspace and/or structures. Your new or renovated playspace can make everyone feel welcome with some simple considerations." Website
