Homer also once said, after prohibition was revoked in Springfield, "To
alcohol!  The cause of, and solution to, all life's problems."

When one of the greatest living Americans - Homer J. Simpson - ran for
Springfield trash commissioner, his campaign slogan was: "Can't someone else
do it?!?"

 

Taking these words to heart, I wanted to know if anyone out there was
considering doing a session at next year's conference in LA about
accessibility issues, especially in outdoor areas like science playgrounds.
I ask because I know next to nothing about this, plus I missed a similar
session last month. (D'oh.) So why not have someone other than me do it so I
can learn?

 

Also, because if you are thinking of such a session, I know someone outside
the field who might be interested in co-presenting with you. Her name is Amy
Barzach, honcho of Boundless Playgrounds, a company that designs and
constructs handicapped-accessible playgrounds. If you want to get in touch
with her to discuss, let me know.
