A Wheelchair Swing Can Provide A Child With A Lot Of Fun

By Shawna Trujillo


All children are entitled to play and have fun no matter what their age or ability. It can be unfair when disabled children do not get the same chance to play as able bodied children get. There are various items of equipment including a wheelchair swing that are suitable for playgrounds designed for wheelchair access.

Play areas that are set up for use by disabled children should be made easily accessible for them. It will be necessary to consider the type of surface which has to be used for the area. For areas around and under pieces of equipment, the surface should be soft enough that children will be protected if they fall off the equipment. The surface should be such that children with wheelchairs can move them around freely and not become stuck between bits of gravel. It should be flat and smooth enough so that is not difficult to move around on.

The bright colors that the equipment can be produced in make them especially attractive to children. Children will love the fact that they have access to swings and other equipment they can have fun with. The strong materials that the equipment is built with help to provide a framework that is supportive and will keep the child safe. There are devices fitted to the equipment for extra safety, they are used to make sure that the wheelchair is secure during play.

Disabled children will get a lot of pleasure from using the various pieces of equipment that are available including swings and roundabouts. Panels that can be used to simulate a child's mind can be used to give them the freedom to create their own music. These panels can be fitted in playgrounds beside the various other pieces of equipment.

The design of some of the equipment makes it suitable for use by disabled and able bodied children. The roundabouts have ramps fitted which allow easy access when lowered to the ground. When folded up they give security for the back of the chair preventing it from being able to roll off while the equipment is in motion.

Playgrounds where equipment is suitable for children of all abilities will help to encourage interaction between the children. Some equipment is designed for use by children of all abilities making it suitable for all children to play together. This can help children to accept each other and to understand and be able to play happily together.

Designing areas where children can play ball games is something that all children will enjoy. There is specially designed basketball equipment the can be enjoyed by children of all abilities. Ball games can help to develop interaction between children and encourage friendships to be built.

Planning and designing a playground for children to use can be a very satisfying thing to do. It will provide the children with a great deal of enjoyment and gives them the opportunity to be stimulated and enjoy playing together. Disabled children will enjoy playing in the wheelchair swing and other exiting pieces of equipment that are suitable for them. Play areas that are suitable for both able bodied and disabled children will encourage them to play with each other.
