Tic Tack Toe...

     My journey through playgrounds continues.  On June 24th, the day brings me to Hobomock Playground in Pembroke, Mass.  The only particular item I was fond of here, as far as wheelchair and disability accessibility was an over sized Tic Tack Toe game.  The reason that this worked out nicely was that it was easily chair level, first and foremost, but secondly it also was very easy to spin. This would mean that children with gross motor problems could easily take part in a recess or playground activity with their peers.  It is just unfortunate to see that an entire playground, especially one attached to a school, only has one item that is of this height and of this ease of use. Hopefully in the future, we will see more accessible playground equipment come to schools nation wide.  Until next time, Advocate, Educate, and Empower.
