Abstract:	Often playgrounds are built following standards and regulations neglecting what children prefer and wish for their outdoor play. This is especially true for children who are identified to be most at risk for play deprivation such as children with disabilities. Research and practice require solutions to evaluate existing playgrounds to ensure children’s right to play. The purpose of this workshop is to introduce and test a newly developed evidence-informed audit tool. This audit is an observer-rated evaluation of the environmental qualities in community playgrounds. The audit aims to evaluate a playground’s “potential play value for inclusion” by rating observable qualities of the environment that contribute to play value for inclusion. The workshop will introduce the audit tool, its development process, its intended use, and will elaborate on the play value for inclusion construct. Participants of the workshop will be invited to test the audit (through video observation). As this audit tool is currently under development the participants will be invited to share feedback. The workshop is open to anyone but especially people responsible for playground provision and evaluation, advocates for children's right to play, and professionals who work with children with disabilities are addressed.
