Chad Kennedy, PLA, CPSI, is a Principal Landscape Architect for a private design firm, O'Dell Engineering. He holds a master's degree in landscape architecture from Utah State University. His interest in design-oriented childhood development and psychologically healthy play environments originates from a yearlong interdisciplinary disability course he participated in at the Center for Persons with Disabilities at Utah State University nearly 20 years ago. Chad's experience there made a lasting impression, guiding his passion for creating outdoor environments that are sensitive to all forms of children's development needs, promote wellness and completeness, and provide unimpeded access to all who wish to participate. Chad has published numerous articles on child-focused design and presents nationally on these and related subjects. Under his direction as a partner, O'Dell Engineering has focused on designing health care gardens and recreational environments that meet those criteria, including many socially inclusive and sensory-integrated playgrounds.
