Description

In this episode, we will be taking a look at accessible playgrounds. We will be exploring the ways that inclusive play has been approached traditionally and the ways that that has and hasn’t worked, as well as learning about a few amazing organizations working hard to bring more accessible play spaces to communities around the country. We will be speaking to Michelle Farrell, a former Olympian and mother of a daughter with a disability and strong accessible play advocate, Jill Asher, the Executive Director and co-Founder of Magical Bridge Playgrounds, an organization dedicated to inclusive playground design and social change, and with Natalie MacKay, the founder of Unlimited Play, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that helps to plan, design and build fully accessible playgrounds that allow all children to play.

Learn about the work that Michelle, Jill, and Natalie have been doing to make the world a more inclusive place by advocating for and creating truly accessible playgrounds that suit the needs of all people and all communities.
