Kids on the coast

Computer-based fun and games are no longer out of reach of children with a disability, thanks to a new website called the All Abilities ePlayground. The website offers a virtual playground designed to enable children to play and independently explore the virtual play space regardless of a possible physical or learning disability. Sonokids Australia, a non-government organisation developing technology and computer programs for people with a disability, worked closely with the Gold Coast City Council, Queensland Disability Services and children of all abilities to develop the new website.
