Chelsey King, a Kansas State University graduate student in landscape architecture, is researching a school playground that targets kids with autism. King, working with professor, Katie Kingery-Page, explained, “My main goal was to provide different opportunities for children with autism to be able to interact in their environment without being segregated from the rest of the school.” One of the features of the schoolyard is a place where children with autism can go when feeling stressed or over-stimulated. There are sensory areas that include a music garden where students can play outdoor instruments, an edible garden for horticulture therapy, a sensory playground, and a butterfly garden. While this is still in the research stage, King researched the project using Amanda Arnold Elementary School, a Manhattan KS magnet school for kids with autism, as a foundation.
