Council brings inclusive play to local parks

New communication boards that support inclusive play have been installed at parks in the Carnes Hill Community Precinct and Casula Parklands to help people with disability, language barriers and vision impairment.Liverpool Mayor Wendy Waller said the communication boards enhance the social experience and interaction between people of all backgrounds and abilities.“Through simple pictorials that represent words and activities as well as Braille, anyone with a disability or anyone facing language barriers or limited expressive abilities can use the communication board to show what they would like to do and express how they feel,” Mayor Waller said. Compared with the rest of Greater Sydney Liverpool has a higher number of people who speak a language other than English at home and report difficulty speaking English. “These boards can assist in opening the lines of communication between people visiting these parks and can help spark conversation, interaction and social opportunities. “Council is committed to promoting inclusion through our Disability Inclusion Action Plan.
