“Accessible playgrounds provide a space where Solly can be seen as and act like what he is – an 8 year old boy who loves to play, pretend, and be wild. When playgrounds are built for everyone, no one is left out: we are so grateful for Inclusion Matters for making sure all children are included. As a family, accessible playgrounds are the only place where we have the freedom to explore and play across the entire playground.” – Camie Rodan (Solly’s Mom)
