Learning Outcomes
Participants will evaluate the potential of several equipments in the field of communication and show some proficiency in incorporating them in a functional selection process for a CP child. They will learn several software adaptation strategies for usability and accessibility to the PC as well as free hardware and software solutions for physical accessibility to information and communication Technology and to help in reading and writing processes.
In the area of mobility it is expected that they recognize the most significant equipment for CP children and demonstrate proficiency in selecting the most adequate solution for different environments considering also the importance of architectural accessibility and some technical solutions available, as well as the main modalities and characteristics of adapted sports suitable for CP.
Participants will also recognize practical solutions for daily activity with CP children, available in the market, in areas like feeding, dressing, housekeeping, and domotic solutions and environmental control strategies. It is also expected that they can recognize the most suitable educational and recreational solutions for their children/pupils
The technical components sub module focus on a more instrumental area, in which parents and teachers are supposed to "build" together possible solutions to help compensate disabilities and contribute to inclusion. The framework adopted has been the one of HEART Line E which, as we have seen distributes functional competences by 4 areas.
