This is a private playspace without public access. Preschool and School for children with autism, an extremely worthy cause! I am nominating my sons school, New Heights. They are a special school for children with autism. The school was started by several parents who could not find suitable educational options for their autistic children. They have only been open about 6 years but for the first three they operated without any government funding, and while they have funding now the school has not been able to afford luxuries such as this. A playground such as this would benefit these children in unimaginable ways! Autistic children don't automatically learn from the world around them as a typical child would. They need to be taught and encouraged using tools and strategies but in order for this to work the child needs to be motivated to learn, not always easy for these kids who are bombarded with stimuli that they can't ignore every second of the day. Being able to encourage these kids to use and build their playskills and imaginative abilities would help to improve the quality of life for 40 autistic students!

Everyone is doing so awesome on this contest...this community is showing true spirit for some wonderful children! Only a few days to go, so let's drive the point home!!! We want this, because our kiddos deserve nothing less than the best...they are amazing human beings and we should be doing something amazing (like doing everything we can to win this competition) for them. This is for their future...keep it coming all!

We've jumped another two spots just today! Someone mentioned that "not all play area's can accomodate the structure" but we are a completely blank slate, and as you can see our parents will make whatever is needed happen! Please give these kids a shot! I really hope the judges, and contest organizers will see what this would do for the kids and how much of a difference it would make in their lives.

The creativity and cutting edge architecture would work extra well, in an area with absolutely nothing to get in its way

Great job everyone! I can't think of a more worthy school than New Heights....it seems this contest was created for a school like this. A small, new school, with limited resources, but plenty of need. I wish you the best of luck...the results would be incredible if you could win!
