Thinking about how a few changes change everything...
Have a look at these images - a swing that can safely hold a wheelchair, a roundabout you can actually sit in and feel secure, textured floor so you can feel the changing pathway.
Wouldn't it be great if this kind of thinking was applied to all areas of public life? Imagine supermarkets or airports that considered divergent needs. Pass this on to your local council - it doesn't have to be difficult or expensive to make change happen. Fair Play have done the research and are happy to share what they know: fairplayinclusive@gmail.com or DM www.instagram.com/fairplay_ground/.

We are not the only ones loving the communications boards at Fair Play accessible and inclusive playground for children and adults 🗣️ We’d like to see customised communication boards in so many more public places - shopping centres, bus and Tube stations, airports, leisure centres you name we want to have them there!

There’s only the right way to use these boards and that’s the whatever way works for you - beyond the intended we are starting to see children who have their own ideas about what to do with them and having such fun making up games with them, setting challenges to use each piece of equipment as they appear on the board, trying not to speak to each other and only using the board when they are in the playground, there’s fun to be had.

But how do communications boards help people who are non - verbal, don’t speak the same language or have dementia?

- Instead of needing to find the words people can point to the relevant picture to communicate their wants, needs and feelings.

- By allowing someone to understand what is being communicated to them. Pictures are easier to process than words, if someone struggles to process spoken words, you can communicate to them by pointing to a picture. Spoken words disappear as soon as they are spoken, pictures don’t. An individual can keep looking at the picture you have pointed to for as long as they need to until they understand.

- Showing someone what is coming up also helps to communicate routines and transitions.

Everyone has a different favourite play piece in Fair Play playground - they are all hero pieces! Hello to the spinner, if you can’t sit up you can lie flat, loads of people can play together and parents who are wheelchair users can easily roll up and spin it when their children are playing on it and if you can stand up stand across the middle and give it a whirl - we are sure people at the playground will think up some other great innovative ways to have fun with the spinner!
