Developing Accessible Playgrounds for Children with Vision Impairment

盲人或低视力儿童（BLV）通常难以进入游乐场并与之互动，其中大多数游乐场都没有为他们提供支持。通过与BLV社区的协商，合作和共同创造，将开发关于游乐场用户体验的基础知识，用于审计现有游乐场的评估框架以及用于创建或改造游乐场的设计指南，以支持BLV儿童和照顾者的独特挑战。重要的是，它将促进BLV儿童的接触、定向、身体和社会游戏，改善认知、身体和社会发展，从而实现一个更具包容性和健康的社会。

Children who are blind or have low vision (BLV) often have difficulties accessing and interacting with playgrounds, most of which are not equipped to support them. Through consultation, collaboration and co-creation with the BLV community, foundational knowledge on the user experience of playgrounds, an evaluation framework for auditing existing playgrounds and design guidelines for creating or retrofitting playgrounds will be developed that support the unique challenges of BLV children and carers. Importantly it will promote access, orientation, physical and social play for BLV children, with improved cognitive, physical and social development, thus enabling a more inclusive and healthy society.
