We donate Nex Playground systems to nonprofit organizations serving children who face barriers to movement. We’ve seen Nex Playground turn hospital rooms into spaces filled with laughter, movement, and connection. That’s why we started Playground for Good, because every child deserves access to joyful, active play, whether they’re recovering, learning, growing, or just need to smile.
“I am a Gaming Technology Specialist within the Child Life Department at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. I have a passion for adaptive and accessible gaming. On the first day, I set it up for a young girl with Cerebral Palsy and was excited to see the system “read her” appropriately despite one of her arms being contracted. Her arm was not able to fully extend, but Whack-A-Mole was still able to read both of her hand placements correctly. She had a great time playing! That was when I knew that this is an exciting new resource for inclusive gaming! I could picture all kinds of scenarios that would help in the hospital setting.”
