Why do we make such designs?

1) 60 to 80 percent of the children who have down syndrome have hearing problems. So we might want to make a few concave walls so that their voices might be echoed and heard clearly.

2) 40 to 45 percent of children with down syndrome have congenital heart disease. So we MUST not build a playground with flights of steps as to prevent the children from overworking themselves.
