Join Lukas Steinke, CEO of Berliner America, traveling in from Greenville, SC for an in-person presentation at CfAD. This presentation focuses on the essential ways to create a rope playground that harbors inclusivity. We will review the ADA standards and how it impacts the ability to design functional, fun, and inviting spaces. This leads us into the discussion on inclusivity where we’ll take a deeper look at the sensory disorders that impact a large population and how to create an environment to account for all abilities.

There will also be a focus on the developmental benefits of rope play and how it impacts children of all abilities. We’ll conclude with a look at what play experiences are best to include in inclusive spaces.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the role of ADA in playgrounds and defining inclusivity
2. Identify developmental benefits of rope play
3. Understand elements needed to design complete, inclusive playgrounds

RSVP by October 14th. Course will provide 1.0 continuing education credits and provide Health, Safety, and welfare credit. Lunch will be provided. Email Jackie Dietz with any questions at jackie.dietz@forms-surfaces.com.
