GameTime Celebrates North American Inclusion Month

Play Has No Limit.

February is North American Inclusion Month. Inclusion comes in many forms, and GameTime is committed to making play more inclusive. We design our products and play spaces to be used by the greatest number of people to the greatest extent possible based on best practice, evidence-based research. Much of our product development and playground design is informed by the experts at Utah State University Center for Persons with Disabilities and their publication Me2®: 7 Principles of Inclusive Playground Design®. Created in Partnership with PlayCore, Me2 is a comprehensive design guide for create play spaces that go beyond accessibility and address the needs of the whole child, the whole space and the whole community. 

Throughout the month of February, GameTime will be featuring projects and products that exemplify these principles on our social media channels and on our blog. You'll see innovative products that encourage children of all abilities to be more active and social together. You'll see videos of projects that bring communities together, as well as places that have been designated as National Demonstration Sites for adhering to a stringent set of best practices in design and evidence-based research principles for inclusion. We will also share opportunities for you to get involved in new inclusive play projects and provide free offers, webinars and downloads for you to share with your community.

If inclusive play is important to you, you won't want to miss what we have in store this month. Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram. And check back with us each day on GameTime.com for the latest updates.
