Conclusion

This book is the result of the first two-year work of Working Group 1 of the network “LUDI – Play for children with disabilities”. LUDI is an Action (2014-2018) financed by COST; it is a multidisciplinary network of more than 30 countries and almost 100 researchers and practitioners belonging to the humanistic and technological fields to study the topic of play for children with disabilities within the framework of the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (WHO, 2001).The principal objective of this book is to bring the LUDI contribution to the important topic of play in children with disabilities, because today an international consensus on the definition of play and disabilities is still lacking. The process of ensuring equity in the exercise of the right to play for children with disabilites requests three actions: to approach this topic through a “common language”, at least all over Europe; to put play at the centre of the multidisciplinary research and intervention regarding the children with disabilities; to grant this topic the status of a scientific and social theme of full visibility and recognized authority. Children with disabilities face several limitations in play, due to several reasons: impairments; playgrounds, toys and other play tools that are not accessible and usable; environments and contexts that are not accessible nor inclusive; lack of educational awareness and intentionality; lack of specific psycho-pedagogical and rehabilitative competence; lack of effective intervention methodologies. Moreover, disabled children’s lives are dominated by medical and rehabilitative practices in which play is always an activity aiming to reach an objective or to provoke an improvement; play for the sake of play is considered a waste of time. The concept of play for the sake of play strongly refers to the distinction between play activities and play-like activities. Play activities are initiated and carried out by the player (alone, with peers, with adults, etc.) for the only purpose of play itself (fun and joy, interest and challenge, love of race and competition, ilinx and dizziness, etc.). They have of course consequences on growth and development, but these consequences are not intentionally pursued. Play-like activities are initiated and conducted by an adult (with one or more children), in educational, clinical, social contexts; they are playful and pleasant, but their main objective is other than play: e.g., cognitive learning, social learning, functional rehabilitation, child's observation and assessment, psychological support, psychotherapy, etc. This book, then, contributes to a clear distinction between play and play-like activities that, hopefully, will bring to new developments in play studies

Evaluation of children's play. Tools and methods

This book is one of the outcomes of the COST Action TD139 “LUDI – Play for Children with Disabilities" (2014–2018), a multidisciplinary network of European researchers and practitioners devoted to the theme of play from different perspectives. This book contributes to the LUDI reflection about play, by reviewing the existing knowledge on play evaluation and by presenting tools and methodologies for play assessment

Using Specific Learning Disorders diagnosis criteria for early Identification. The proposal of Protocol developed in the Aosta Valley Region

Italian Law n. 170/2010 clarified the characteristics of the Specific Learning Disorders (SLD), as well as the needed interventions that the school must operate to provide the supports to these students. In particular, the 2013 Guidelines required the Regions to coordinate the implementation of practices for early identification. After reviewing the legislative path, the article presents the Protocol drawn up in the Aosta Valley, discussing the theoretical choices, the implemented system, the methodology of intervention and the results of the monitoring process. Teachers show difficulties in a process of identification of inter-individual differences and of their impact on the development.   Partire dai criteri diagnostici dei DSA per effettuare l’identificazione precoce. La proposta di Protocollo della Valle d’Aosta La L. n. 170/2010, ha fatto chiarezza intorno alle caratteristiche dei DSA e agli interventi che la scuola deve approntare per accogliere gli alunni che presentano queste difficoltà. Le Linee Guida del 2013 hanno richiesto alle Regioni di coordinare la realizzazione di prassi per l’identificazione precoce. Dopo una rassegna sul percorso legislativo, l’articolo presenta il Protocollo stilato in Valle d’Aosta, discutendone le scelte teoriche, l’impianto realizzato, la metodologia di intervento e gli esiti del monitoraggio. Emergono difficoltà da parte degli insegnanti nel processo di identificazione delle differenze inter-individuali e del loro impatto sullo sviluppo e l’apprendimento

Smart community-based services for older persons with disability: a desk review and analysis of design projects

Persons aging with disability (AWD) experienced the onset of disability in the early-mid life and their experience is quite different from those who acquire age-related disabilities in late life (disability with aging, DWA). Appropriate intervention models and services are required for these populations to enhance independent living and inclusion in a life-span and ecosystemic perspective. Smart Community-Based Services (SCBS) exploit technologies and systems to empower the persons into more integrated and coordinated networks. This study analyses the state of art in SCBS through a desk review. The 11 selected projects range from small to large-scale projects, adopt different approaches from techno-centric to user-centric, and exploit diverse key-enabling technologies to form smart ecosystems. Even if the research on this topic is still limited and often experimental, SCBS has the potential to address cross-population AWD/DWA needs, and connect diverse environments by orchestrating technologies, services and key-persons in the communities and favouring a more sustainable service planning
