INCLUSIVE PLAY WORKGROUP LAUNCHED

INCLUSIVE PLAY WORKGROUP LAUNCHED
I just signed up for a workshop on playground equipment and inclusive play.
This sounds interested, they are going to have a few conference calls on the topic. Since we(Snider & Associates) install so many playgrounds each year, I thought this would be good for us. If you are a member of the industry you should check it out.
