PROVIDE MULTI-SENSORY PLAY EXPERIENCES:

The senses give kids information about the world around them and where their bodies are in space. All kids learn at their own pace, and sensory experiences help all kids explore their world and develop motor skills, physical strength and cognitive functioning.

SUPPORT KIDS ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM BY:

Kids on the autism spectrum or those with sensory integration disorders need playground equipment that stimulate their senses without overwhelming them. Our inclusive playscapes accomplish this by offering cozy, quiet spaces, establishing perimeter paths and fences and providing a wayfinding system that includes an orientation path.

CREATE WELCOMING SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTS INCLUDING:

Kids in each stage of development play in different ways. Some want to interact and play games with their friends, while others want a space to play by themselves or with some social proximity to peers. Our equipment supports kids in each of the six stages of play, including: Solitary play, Onlooker play, Parallel play, Associative play and Cooperative play.

Sensory Outdoor Play Equipment

One way to include all kids in a playground is through our sensory playground equipment. Sensory play equipment incorporates the unique sensory processing needs of kids on the autism spectrum or with specific sensory needs, offering them the opportunity to play independently alongside others without getting overwhelmed by the noise and stimulation of a playground.

Kids on the autism spectrum may find it challenging to socialize and play with others. On Playgrounds for All, we consider these needs when we lay out our sensory play equipment. Some of our sensory play equipment provides exciting sensory experiences for kids who need a lot of vestibular and proprioceptive input. Other equipment supports the kids with sensory processing disorders who might need a calming environment. A product such as our Sensory Maze is great for this type of sensory play as it allows kids to explore light and texture in a soothing and non-overwhelming environment.

Note: At Miracle Recreation, we’re aware of the ongoing debate in the autism community over the use of identity-first (autistic person) and person-first (person with autism) language. We understand the choice is a highly personal one, especially for individuals in the autism community, so we’ve decided to use a combination of person-first and identity-first language.
