Re: grants for accessible playground equipment.

Thanks!!! These are great!

A couple of other people had recommended Boundless Playgrounds and

now that I've gone and looked - wow. I can definitely see this

happening.

The grants page is great too. How exciting, that there is so much

going on for projects like this!

Thanks!! These are all good ideas too.

I will look into the tape that Boundless Playgrounds offers, thanks

for telling me about that.

One thing that struck me when looking at their site, is that their

playgrounds are only designed to be 70% accessible. That concerns

me, since there is a boy at our school with very limited abilities,

and normal intelligence, and I know he would really like to be able

to participate more with his friends on the playground. I've been

trying to collect ideas on playground equipment for kids with more

serious disabilities.
