Abstract

Outdoor playgrounds are a very important factor in the all-round development of both formally developing children and those with special educational needs. For this reason, it is absolutely essential for playgrounds to be accessible and suitable for all children, regardless their different educational needs. In the present study, our primary focus is to determine the degree of accessibility and suitability of playgrounds for children with special educational needs. For this purpose we used the RoSPA rating scale and a questionnaire which was given to parents of children with special educational needs.
