Inclusive playgrounds do far more than provide opportunities for fun. They can help disabled children explore movement, touch, sound and body awareness in ways that support sensory regulation, confidence and physical development. This guide explains how different types of playground equipment relate to vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile, visual and auditory sensory systems, why occupational therapists recommend particular activities, and how families can create positive playground experiences that reflect each child’s unique sensory profile. It also looks at accessibility features that make playgrounds welcoming for children with different disabilities.
