EP Associations - Shane's Inspiration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Shane’s Inspiration, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children with disabilities, was created to build universally accessible playgrounds that allow children of all abilities to play alongside one another. |
 | | Shane’s Inspiration’s first playground, named after Shane Williams, is located in Griffith Park, providing two acres of independent play, sensory-rich and physically challenging equipment and the rare opportunity for disabled and able-bodied children to experience and accept one another. |
 | | In addition, Shane’s Inspiration outreach includes public speaking engagements at local schools, regional centers, hospitals and communities; newsletters targeting children and adults with disabilities; a newsletter written by and for children with disabilities, their peers and siblings; and hospital research collaborations that identify existing disabilities and their corresponding needs. |
