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.

America's children? Big mistake!"
