I’ve recently had the opportunity to view the plans for the Ala Moana playground, and I was impressed to see that the design kept children with special needs in mind.

I think the Star-Advertiser should highlight the many features of this inclusive playground.

This is a first for Hawaii, and many families with special needs children will appreciate how the playground design is being overseen by an occupational therapist so that the needs of all children are being met.
