Play and severe cognitive impairment. Educational tool within disability centers

Abstract

Within day centers for intellectual disability, the activities carried out by the operators have the aim of experimenting and enhancing cognitive and movement skills. Often the proposals for users who have a severe intellectual disability are discouraging as they are very different from each other and therefore able to enjoy a useful experience for everyone. The playful workshops introduced in this article have the purpose instead of suggesting to the reader some optimal proposals for this type of user, in order to produce, through the game, stimulating and useful proposals, as well as easily usable.
