To allow all children access to play equipment and the same games!
The inclusive play area is based on 2 basic concepts: the pleasure of playing and a shared play experience.
It gives all children the means to explore and develop, at their own pace and according to their abilities. It is a place where a positive interaction is created between the play activity and the child, whoever he or she may be, and which, more generally, encourages socialising and exchanges in a friendly environment.
Proludic, through decades of commitment to the needs of children with disabilities, has built up extensive expertise in the area of inclusion. The company is continuously designing new equipment aimed at giving as many children with disabilities as possible the chance to play with their able-bodied peers.
The towers in the Kanopé range: models of accessibility and inclusion
As part of a continuous innovation approach and inspired by the importance of “playing together”, Proludic is continuously innovating and developing its Kanopé range with the creation of inclusive towers which demonstrate that neither size nor height is an obstacle to shared play between children with different abilities, allowing children with motor difficulties, for example, to access a 3-metre-high slide.
With Kanopé inclusive towers, adventures are shared experiences…
The Kanopé range of inclusive towers consists of 8 multipurpose structures with adapted access solutions and play equipment tailored according to levels of disability, enabling all children to meet up and play together. These structures can be divided into up to 3 separate areas defined according to a classification based on the level of motor disability and inspired by the GMFCS classification (Gross Motor Function Classification System):
Level 3
This area can be accessed by children with a significant motor disability who are unable to transfer unassisted from a wheelchair and who need the accompaniment of a carer during play.
Level 2
This part of the structure can be accessed by children with a motor disability that still allows them to transfer unassisted from a wheelchair, or remove adaptive devices, in order to move around inside the equipment, with or without assistance.
Level 1
This area of the structure can be accessed by children with slightly reduced motor abilities or children without disabilities.
Each play level consists of fun components that also meet the specific needs of sensory and mental disabilities (sound box, periscope, sensory panel, Braille panel, etc.).
Example: Kanopé inclusive tower J56012
