Description:
Meeting the minimum accessibility design standards for play and recreation areas is the first step to ensuring everyone can participate, enjoy, and experience park and play area facilities. During this session, a panel of individuals with disabilities and professionals who support persons with disabilities will discuss features that can “make or break” play and recreational opportunities for individuals with autism or who are neurodivergent or have developmental, physical, sensory, or communication needs. Strategies, design elements, barriers, and accessibility will be discussed from their unique perspective. We hope you will join us for this look beyond the minimum accessibility design standards to discover how your community can make your park and play areas more inclusive for everyone. This is the third session of a yearlong four-part Beyond the Minimums accessibility series.

This webinar will feature real-time captioning and video remote interpreting (VRI).

Learning objectives:

• Develop a statement of understanding that demonstrates the features that make a park or play area inclusive for everyone.
• Summarize the features and elements people with disabilities look for when choosing their recreational experiences.
• Evaluate existing park and play areas and identify barriers that may restrict people with disabilities from being able to fully participate in the provided recreational opportunities.
• List two (2) helpful resources to obtain additional information or to utilize when evaluating new and existing park and play areas for inclusion.

We hope you will join us for this look beyond the minimum accessibility design standards to discover how your community can make your park and play areas more inclusive for everyone. This is the third session of a yearlong four-part Beyond the Minimums accessibility series.
