At Inclusion Matters by Shane’s Inspiration, we believe it is the birthright of every child to play on the playground. Unfortunately, many public playgrounds exclude children with disabilities because they are either inaccessible or offer equipment that is extremely limited in its value. This means that children with disabilities are denied a fundamental experience that supports their ability to develop essential life skills. That’s why, for the last 20 years, we have been reinventing the paradigm of play by designing inclusive playgrounds and providing education programs that bring children with and without disabilities together through the powerful act of play. Shane’s Inspiration is working globally with community partners on every continent to ensure that play, dignity and friendship is within reach of every child.
