KOMPAN’s Universal Play Design Philosophy

KOMPAN has a well established tradition of universal and inclusive design. All children, including children with disabilities, are considered when a KOMPAN product or play space is made.

KOMPANs design philosophy agrees with the ideas of universal design and take their starting point from The Americans with Disabilities Act's Accessibility Guidelines for Play Areas (ADAAG). KOMPAN was chosen as play industry consultant for the committee in Washington when the guidelines were made.
