Interview 4.0 #able

Yes for customized playgrounds!

Great project, thank you for sharing. It’s beyond me to see how the city can ever give up on ideas which work or generate enthusiasm.

You’d think the smaller the city, the easier to make this kind of change and keep it going. I see how consistent my hometown is becoming when it comes to legitimizing its caretakers and picking up on good ideas (gave the example of the hammocks in the park which became legit).

@ChristineOehme I don’t know if you’ve teamed up with @Moriel who is also doing work on disability, but she has been asking

“Is it the disability itself, that disables people? Or is it the attitude and perception of the society and a non-barrier-free environment which actually disables?”

From your post this question is less important because at the end of the day, the problem is how to enable Fabian and others to enjoy play like any kid should. So while disability is indeed a gradient (we are all disabled at something or at some point!) and needs a change in perception, it is actions (building inclusive playgrounds) that really hit the nail on the head. At least this is how I see it.
