Sensory related disabilities are the fastest growing disability category among children today. In this virtual presentation we will define this spectrum of childhood disabilities that is much broader than autism. Design strategies will be presented on how to create play spaces so that these children and their families can successfully GET there, PLAY there and STAY there and have tons of fun. Concepts will be wrapped together in a real life case study.

Learning Objectives

  1. Explain the current concept of a multi-dimensional spectrum for typical children and those with a variety of childhood medical conditions that impact learning.

  2. Incorporate design strategies that help these visitors be able to GET to the play space.

  3. Incorporate design strategies that help these visitors be able to PLAY at the play space.

  4. Incorporate design strategies that help these visitors be able to STAY at the play space.
