Inspiring Inclusive Play has been produced following a two-year Play Inclusive (P.Inc) Action Research project looking at the ways in which play fosters inclusion, understanding and participation between children with a range of needs and abilities.
The handbook is designed to encourage similar work practices to those undertaken at Scotland Yard Adventure Centre in Edinburgh (The Yard).
It contains step-by-step guidelines on how to implement themed play, including what resources to use and what type of inclusive play each activity promotes. A section entitled 'Why it worked' gives colourful anecdotes detailing how staff met these objectives.
Theresa Casey, freelance play consultant and author of the P.inc pack, said, 'The handbook is user-friendly and visually appealing. It contains tried-and-tested techniques, showing how spontaneous and imaginative play can be generated in all play settings.'
