Their own place to playSunday, December 11, 2005By Rusty Pray, Inquirer Staff Writer Seeing a lack of play spaces for special-needs children, two mothers did something about it. About nine months ago, Stacey Bittmann and Bridget Cella, two Washington Township women with special-needs children, were talking over coffee. "I said to Bridget [that] it would be nice to have a place where our children could play," Bittmann recently recalled. She said it would be great to have a facility where their children fit in and were comfortable. They were so much in agreement, "the conversation was kind of like one." Thus was born the Sensory Playhouse, designed specifically for special-needs children, although other children are welcome. The playhouse, which opened in August, is in the Turnersville Square shopping center in Washington Township.
