CEU- Take a Risk with Rope Play
The session explores the benefits of incorporating manageable risks into children’s play, particularly through rope play, and how these activities contribute to learning and development. Topics include the evolution of playground design, adherence to current safety standards, and the distinction between risk and hazard. The session also reviews studies on risky play and its positive impact on child development, while addressing the crucial difference between perceived risks and actual hazards in playground environments.

CEU- The Inclusive Nature of Rope Play
This presentation emphasizes the role of rope play in promoting inclusivity on playgrounds, particularly for children with sensory processing challenges. While the ADA has made strides in ensuring accessibility for physical disabilities, it often overlooks the needs of children who thrive with sensory-friendly play options. Rope play offers distinct sensory and developmental benefits, allowing children to engage at their own pace, encouraging exploration, and providing crucial sensory stimulation. As such, it serves as an inclusive option for playground designs that cater to diverse abilities.
