I also have an amazing job helping communities create wonderful play environments that are designed for individuals of ALL ability to play in - I have spend the past four years working with this small non-profit organization in Pittsburgh, PA called the Center for Creative Play - www.cfcp.org and helping three Michigan communities create their own play spaces. It's wonderful to work somewhere that firstly is designed to be universally accessible and secondly where the staff understand how to empower each individual regardless of their "disability".
