Our Story

About us

Inclusion Matters by Shane’s Inspiration is more than just an organization; it’s a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of play. Born from the profound love of parents for their son Shane, we’ve turned a personal journey into a global mission. Our founders, Catherine Curry-Williams and Scott Williams, alongside Tiffany Harris, envisioned a world where every child, regardless of ability, could experience the joy and freedom of play.

Today, we stand proud as a network of over 80 inclusive, sensory- and literacy-rich playgrounds spanning the globe. From the bustling streets of Mexico to the serene landscapes of South Africa, our playgrounds are a testament to our commitment to creating spaces where children can come together, learn, and grow.

Our work doesn’t stop at playgrounds. We’re educators, advocates, and leaders in fostering social inclusion. Our programs have touched the lives of over 55,000 students across 250 schools, teaching them the value of diversity and the importance of inclusion. We’re not just building playgrounds; we’re building a future where every child knows they belong.

As we look to the horizon, our vision remains clear: a bias-free world for children with disabilities. With every playground we build and every program we run, we’re spreading laughter, dignity, and play to every corner of the earth. Join us in our journey, and be a part of a legacy that celebrates every child’s right to play and be included.
