Tips for Inclusive Design
Fun for all and all for fun
Making play accessible to ALL children is a fundamental part of a child’s development. Also known as Universal Play or Universal Accessibility (UA), Inclusive Play Design is the framework of every Vortex zero-depth installation. Our solutions inherently consider people with disabilities engaging and playing with the rest of the population. Making design provisions beyond wheelchair access — a requirement of the "American with Disabilities Act" (ADA) — Inclusive Play Design encourages the physical, functional and social development of the child.Design Philosophy is rooted in the principles of Universal Design, which means inclusive play, fun for all and play opportunities for all abilities.

• Distance between features
• Sloped entry access routes
• Turning radius
• Variety of play features for full body or partial wet experience
