A diagram showing a disabled child’s reach range.
The reach ranges appropriate for use by children who use wheelchairs to access play components are intended for ground level components, and elevated components accessed by ramps. Reach ranges are not appropriate for play components reached by transfer systems. Appropriate reach range heights will vary depending on how the play component is accessed. This interactive panel is mounted at a height appropriate for a child who uses a wheelchair.
