Some (technical, self-determination theory based) thoughts on why this playground feature is a great idea:

1. Cooperation is inherent to the structure (architecturally and socially).

2. It promotes exercise *through* a sense of connection and belonging, enhancing physical and social well-being. 1/

It's here! The newest issue of @edpsychjournal.bsky.social asks: why aren't you including students with disabilities in your research?

Then, an amazing group of scholars demonstrate how and why they DO. I want to highlight a few aspects of the special issue in particular:
