SEND & SEMH Play Equipment
SEND Playground Equipment Makes a Difference
Here at Commercial Play we know traditional playgrounds can be a challenge for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). SEND play equipment bridges this gap, creating an inclusive environment that fosters fun, exploration, and development for all abilities.
What Makes SEND Playground Equipment Different?
- Sensory Exploration: These play areas incorporate features that stimulate sight, touch, sound, smell, and balance. This can be through textured surfaces, musical elements, and vibrant colors, catering to a wider range of sensory preferences.
- Calming and Stimulating: The design prioritises calming spaces alongside areas that encourage active engagement. This allows children to self-regulate and find their comfort zone while enjoying the playground.
- Accessibility Features: SEND equipment incorporates ramps, wider walkways, and supportive structures to ensure safe and easy participation for children with mobility challenges.
Invest in inclusive play – invest in a brighter future for all.
