Believe it or not, not all kids like to play kickball! A well-planned playground offers more than sports and traditional games. Our 6-Zone Playground Planning Formula helps schools create recess environments where students have access to different ways to move, connect, recharge, learn, and self-regulate.

The six zones include Fitness & Skills, Sports, Relaxation, Educational, Social Supports, and Sensory Path activities—creating more choices and more opportunities for students with different interests, abilities, and needs.

One of the most valuable aspects of the Fit4Work Screen is how seamlessly its findings translate into standardized vocational frameworks—specifically the Social Security Administration (SSA) Exertional Levels of Work. When we evaluate a student using the Fit4Work Screen, we aren’t just measuring how many pounds a student can lift in isolation; we are determining where their current functional capacity aligns across these standardized levels:

1. Sedentary Work

• SSA Definition: Lifting no more than 10 lbs at a time; occasionally lifting/carrying small articles like files or small tools. Primarily sitting, with occasional walking or standing.

• Fit4Work Alignment: The screen identifies students who thrive in bench-work, fine-motor assembly, digital tasks, or office roles where sitting tolerance and fine motor endurance are the primary physical demands.

2. Light Work
