Interplay is a project aiming to integrate young people with special needs into play and leisure opportunities in their community, that are available to any child. We take 2 - 19 as our age range and provide holiday, after school and weekend activities in the Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot areas of the UK. Many children are in segregated education. Play and leisure activities provide a very useful medium to allow children to break down the prejudices that society may encourage.

PLAY AND INTEGRATED PLAY

Interplay Mural Childs Picture of a King A child's right to play is recognised by the United Nations as a fundamental right in the same way that safety, freedom of expression, health and nutrition are vital components for development. Without play there would be no learning. Without play socialisation would not take place. Interplay supports a child's right to play. Children with special needs have no less need to learn, to socialise and to experience the pleasure of play than any other child in our community. If anything, the freely chosen, self motivated world of play may be one of the most important gateways to community acceptance for children with special needs. Play activities can avoid the competitive or judgmental elements that may set a child up to fail. A play setting is a great place for children to meet each other on terms where diagnostic labels are an irrelevance. Interplay believes that the play and leisure activities it supports are not additional services or embellishments and luxuries. For the children involved play is a vital part of their lives.
