Under the Patronage of HRH Princess Majda Raad, president of Al Hussein Society/Jordan Center for Training and Inclusion (AHS), the opening ceremony of an inclusive playground at the society took place on Wednesday 23^rd of March, 2016.

Inclusive playgrounds and parks allow all children with or without disabilities to play and enjoy themselves. Further, these accessible play spaces are safe and easy for every child to use regardless of their abilities. However, lack of these inclusive facilities in Jordan has motivated the AHS to take the lead by building up an accessible playground at the society and provide model for others to follow. Moreover, an accessible play space gives the opportunity to combine therapy with leisure so that children can receive therapeutic interventions while enjoying their time.

It was heart touching to see how delighted Al Hussein Society school children and nursery were during the opening ceremony, and how happy and stress-free the parents were to have some fun with their children. Eventually, we hope our playground develops into a model to be adopted by other institutions to encourage inclusion.

The AHS thanks all those who contributed in the financing , planning, designing of this playground  and thus helping us to  fulfill  our vision and  create an inclusive society.

Special thanks go
