Abstract [en]

This book is the result of a specific part of the European research project “LUDI. Play for Children with Disabilities” (http://ludi-network.eu), a COST funded Action (www.cost.eu/TD1309, 2014-2018) that collected a multidisciplinary international network of professionals, researchers and practitioners, devoted to the study and enhancement of play for children with disabilities. The Action is aimed at the creation of a general awareness on the quality of life of children with disabilities, starting from a crucial aspect, i.e. play activities, and initiating a process of cultural and social change that will break down the barriers that hinder the full exercise of their right to play and will pave the way to the realization of a true social inclusion. The results shows that:–– Children with disabilities needs to play and to have all the positive experiences that children experience when they play in various environments and with peers, friends, relatives.–– Play is a vital and fundamental need that is not always fulfilled for children with disabilities.–– There is needs for adaptations in toys and environments.–– Children with disabilities and their parents should be involved in planning so that they can influence policies and practices.–– Training for teachers and other professionals should be improved so that they can be more sensitive and skilled in supporting play in inclusive settings.–– Policies and indicators should be developed and implemented in field of play and disability and evaluations carried out.
