What is an inclusive playspace?
Play is great way to have fun, express creativity and learn, so safe public playspaces that consider all abilities – including sensory, social and accessibility support needs – are important resources in our community.
For people with Autism, play equipment and considerations that can make playgrounds more accessible include:
- Communication boards to help non-verbal children communicate what they would like to try and how they feel
- Quiet zones to help with sensory processing
- Fencing for safety
- Cooperative play equipment
- Water and sound play equipment
- Wayfinders and instructions to help people know where to explore and how to use equipment
- Swings, carousels and other movement play equipment
