Disabled Idaho Students Lack Access to Playgrounds and Lunchrooms
Despite federal law, disabled students in Idaho are unable to access playgrounds, lunchrooms, classes, and bathrooms.
A 3-year-old boy in a wheelchair was forced to watch his classmates play from the sidelines due to loose woodchips on the playground, with no accessible swings or play equipment.
This issue persists despite historic $2 billion funding, which is expected to do little to address the problem.
At an elementary school in southwest Boise, Idaho, the boy was relegated to watching his classmates play as a staff member stood with him, or spent recess inside his classroom.
- Loose woodchips on playgrounds prevent wheelchair access
- Lack of accessible swings and play equipment
- Disabled students often spend recess inside classrooms
