The built environment can exclude—or embrace. Sometimes, it takes heartbreak to spark change.

🎧This week’s podcast tells the powerful story of Cody Goldberg, founder of Harper’s Playground. His daughter Harper’s challenges inspired a mission: create play spaces where all kids belong.

🔹Empathy is the foundation. Start by listening. Design from lived experience.
🔹Play is a universal language. Inclusive playgrounds connect families of all abilities.
🔹Belonging is the goal. Great design doesn’t just include—it celebrates differences.
🔹Small changes = big impact. Smooth paths. Sensory details. Accessible equipment.
🔹Connection grows here. Kids build empathy by playing together.
