This EASEYS for ASN is about best practice in inclusive approaches for outdoor learning and play. It’s impossible to include everything, however, this document contains a range of ideas and suggestions to consider when planning for and with the children in your setting. What you choose to include will depend on the range of needs of the children you work with. This is not an exhaustive list but hopefully will stimulate a discussion within your setting, with parents and the community around the spaces, experiences and interactions being created.

There is a page of practical ideas within the Play Ideas section of this site which contains some ideas which could help to differentiate outdoor play experiences making them accessible to more children. You could use this as a starting point for discussion to see if there is anything which you might use or adapt to meet the individual needs of a child in your setting.
Outdoor learning and play; an inclusive approach. This bite-size PowerPoint explores the possibilities and challenges of supporting ASN in outdoor spaces.
