- Abstract
- This chapter shares poignant visual and spatial insights into the agency of play in purpose-built, inclusive playspaces by children with disabilities. The insights were gathered from a post-occupancy playspace study conducted in three eastern Australian states. The authors facilitated opportunities for ten children with disabilities to claim their fundamental rights to express and communicate their views about their experiences of participating in play. Each child directed the researchers through their playspace and filmed their play experiences. The social model of childhood disability provided the lens through which the researchers interrogated the data. Attention was given to children’s opinions, actions, and play cultures, enabling them to be recognised as experts in their own worlds. © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Angharad E.
