Director of Environment, Water and Climate Change

To ask the Chief Executive if the Council has plans to looks at communication boards for children with speech, language and communication needs in all the playgrounds and playspaces throughout the county and how this could be funded? '

At South Dublin County Council we are committed to equality, inclusion and providing services that are accessible to the whole community' (https://www.sdcc.ie/en/services/our-council/policies-and-plans/disability-access/). 'Communication accessibility' is generally overlooked in public policy. SDCoCo is home to 4 Specialist Disability Services and over 65 schools/preschools providing education to children who have communication difficulties linked to Specific Language Disorder, Intellectual Disability or Autism. Public parks & playgrounds are a lifeline to these children and their families, never more so than during the current COVID 19 pandemic. The Speech & Language Therapy Dept at Cheeverstown would like to SDCoCo to consider the installation of communication boards in all public playgrounds, as has been recently done by Wexford CoCo (template has been shared with the SLT Dept). True inclusion is not something that most of these families experience - it would be wonderful for them to see that their children are recognised as citizens of this county

"That this Committee calls on South Dublin County Council to work with local groups such as the Clondalkin Drama Group, The Clondalkin Handcraft and Horticultural Show, Clondalkin Patricks Day Festival Committee, The Joe Williams Archives Committee,  Clondalkin Tidy Towns, Friend's of the Camac and many others to look at them having local displays.  It would encourage and promote visitors to Bru Chrónáin when it reopens.  That the Council consider how this could be managed and provide an area where such a display could go within the Heritage Centre. Volunteerism has played a huge part in Clondalkin's development."
