Inclusive play for children with a sensory disability

Key considerations when designing play areas for children with sensory disability

1 – Understand their needs

Children with sensory disability may:

Have difficulty finding their way around outdoor spaces
Experience balance or coordination challenges
Find it harder to engage in group play without the right supports

2 – Support their needs

Inclusive playspaces should offer:

Spatial landmarks for easy orientation
Barrier-free access to all equipment
Sensory-rich experiences (e.g. movement, touch, sound) that support engagement and development

3 – Inclusive design solutions

Play equipment that stimulates sight, sound, and touch
Colour-coded and tactile pathways to guide navigation
Structures that promote balance, spatial awareness, and social interaction

Designing sensory-friendly playspaces

Our products designed for people with sensory disability

Creating inclusive playgrounds for children with sensory disability, such as children who are blind or deaf, means providing a safe, stimulating environment that supports exploration, independence, and confidence. Effective design uses clear markers and multisensory elements to help children navigate and engage with the space.

Our inclusive design solutions include :

Tactile ground indicators: Textured surfaces guide children safely through the space
Well-spaced equipment: Allows for smooth and confident movement
Accessible signage: Visual and tactile cues to help children navigate and support independence
