Despite indisputable developmental benefits of outdoor play, children with disabilities can experience play inequity. Play decisions are multifactorial; influenced by children's skills and their familial and community environments. Government agencies have responsibilities for equity and inclusion of people with disabilities; including in play.
This multiple-perspective case study aimed to understand outdoor play decision-making for children with disabilities from the perspectives and interactions of: local government and families of primary school-aged children with disabilities.
Five mothers, four local government employees, and two not-for-profit organization representatives participated in semi-structured interviews. Inductive and iterative analyzes involved first understanding perspectives of individuals, then stakeholders (local government and families), and finally similarities and differences through cross-case analysis.
Local government focused more on physical access, than social inclusion. Local government met only minimal requirements and had little engagement with families. This resulted in poor understanding and action around family needs and preferences when designing public outdoor play spaces.
To increase meaningful choice and participation in outdoor play, government understanding of family values and agency around engagement with local government needs to improve. Supporting familial collective capabilities requires understanding interactions between individuals, play, disability, and outdoor play environments.
尽管户外玩耍对儿童的发育益处无可争议，但残疾儿童在玩耍方面可能面临不平等。玩耍决策是多因素的，受儿童技能及其家庭和社区环境的影响。政府机构有责任促进残疾人的公平和包容，包括在玩耍方面。
本多视角案例研究旨在从地方政府和小学适龄残疾儿童家庭的视角及互动中，了解残疾儿童户外玩耍决策情况。
五位母亲、四位地方政府雇员和两位非营利组织代表参与了半结构化访谈。归纳性和迭代性分析首先涉及了解个人的观点，然后是利益相关者（地方政府和家庭）的观点，最后通过跨案例分析了解异同之处。
地方政府更关注物理可达性，而非社会包容。地方政府仅满足最低要求，与家庭的互动很少。这导致在设计公共户外玩耍空间时，对家庭需求和偏好的理解不足且行动不力。
为增加在户外玩耍方面有意义的选择和参与度，政府对家庭价值观以及与地方政府互动时家庭能动性的理解需要改进。支持家庭集体能力需要理解个人、玩耍、残疾和户外玩耍环境之间的相互作用。
