grants for accessible playground equipment

[Guest guest]

My children's school is planning to apply for grants for arts and

sports. I am going to be working on the grants, and I would like to see

the school apply for grants to put in accessible playground equipment

for that children of ALL abilities could use. I want equipment that

would be fun and challenging for kids in wheelchairs, for kids with

issues that cause milder incoordination or weakness, and still be

challenging/fun for kids with great physical abilities. The idea here

is equipment that encourages play between children of various ability

levels, creating bonds and fostering social skills all of the kids will

need as adults. We have one park like that in town - now we just need

to incorporate some of the same ideas into the school yards, so kids

have those opportunities each day at school.

The thing I need to do right now is find out what grants are

available that might help with this, so we can pursue them. If you know

of anything, please let me know.

Thanks!

Lynne
