OBJECTIVE Identify and synthesize existing research on the relationship between key areas of development and accessible play settings for children aged 3-12 with disabilities, and provide occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) with a body of evidence to inform evidence-based interventions and utilize in advocating for occupational justice.
RESULTS Social participation, play participation, and motor skill development were negatively impacted in 8 of 9 studies despite playgrounds being labeled "accessible."
