The Benefits of Inclusive Play
Inclusive playgrounds serve as catalysts for empowerment, offering children with disabilities a space to learn new things and understand the world around them. This sense of empowerment helps develop independence, which is the foundation to building self-confidence.
There are many social benefits to creating inclusive playgrounds as well. Not only do children with disabilities get the opportunity to make friends and socialize with others, but children without disabilities can learn more about the experiences of their peers and develop a mindset that diversity is something that should be celebrated!
