Presentation Description

Plain Language Abstract
This presentation is about children with vision impairment and Australian playgrounds.
We read about children with vision impairment and playgrounds.
Parents and professionals filled in a survey about children with vision impairment and playgrounds.
We visited playgrounds.
We learnt that children with vision impairment enjoyed playgrounds. They played with other children. But moving around the playground could be difficult.
Parents worried about their child getting hurt. Some parents did not go to playgrounds.
We listened and wrote down what might make things better. We think playgrounds can be made better for children with vision impairment.
