AllPlay’s mission is to create a world that fits all kids, including those with disabilities.
Fast Facts
- 1 in 6 Australian children experience a developmental challenge or disability
- Disabilities like autism affect both genders, but males have dominated research participation so the data that informs interventions is biased. For example, in a typical research trial there would normally be 5 boys for every 1 girl
- AllPlay prioritises the recruitment of girls and designs research programs with girls in mind. In our AllPlay Dance program the ratio is 1:1. Improving gender balance in our research will transform intervention pathways for girls with disability
- AllPlay’s AFL program was established at the inception of AFL Women’s League in 2017. Since then participation rates of women in footy have increased by 70%. Together with the AFL we are now bringing girls with disability into Auskick and junior footy
- The AllPlay team consists of women with and without lived experience of disability as well as experts in disability, inclusion, clinical and developmental psychology, education and dance

"We are building community hubs that put leadership, research and decision making directly into the hands of children with disabilities, their families, teachers and coaches to challenge the inequalities that have for too long been a roadblock to inclusive communities where we all thrive.”
