Creating Inclusive Outdoor Play Environments; Designing for Ability Rather than Disability By Keith Christensen This is a fantastic article on the details of designing inclusive playgrounds with an emphasis to "...understand the difference between accessibility (the removal of physical barriers) and inclusion (the removal of social barriers)." Keith is a project director for the Center for Persons with Disabilities at Utah State University. One of Keith’s current projects is Beyond Access: a project of National Significance to develop and disseminate information, training, and technical assistance regarding inclusive outdoor play spaces for children with developmental disabilities. The Beyond Access website is currently being developed. Keith is also a member of our advisory committee.
