Overall objectives of the inclusive learning resource
Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What are the overall broader objectives to which the action will contribute?)
Research and intervention in play for children with disabilities
Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the key indicators related to the overall objectives?)
Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of information for these indicators?)
The “LUDI” COST Action aims the creation of a novel and autonomous field of research and intervention on play for children with disabilities.
Risks and Challenges:
Specific purpose of the inclusive learning resource
Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What specific objective is the resource intended to achieve to contribute to the overall objectives?)
This book brings on the LUDI Network’s reflection about play, reviewing the existing knowledge with respect to play evaluation and presenting tools and methodologies for the assessment of play.
Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (Which indicators clearly show that the objective of the actions/resource has been achieved?)
Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of information that exist or can be collected? What are the methods required to get this information?)
This book is one of the results of the COST Action TD1309 “LUDI – Play for Children with Disabilities” (2014–2018), a multidisciplinary European network of researchers and practitioners who have been working on the theme of play from their different and complementary perspectives. Following two previous publications, “Play Development in Children with Disabilities” (Besio, Bulgarelli & Stancheva-Popkostadinova, 2017) and “Barriers to Play and Recreation for Children and Young People with Disabilities. Exploring Environmental Factors” (Barron, Beckett, Coussens, Desoete, Cannon Jones, Lynch, Prellwitz & Fenney Salkeld, 2017), this book brings on the LUDI Network’s reflection about play, reviewing the existing knowledge with respect to play evaluation and presenting tools and methodologies for the assessment of play.
Risks and Challenges: (Which factors and conditions outside the user's responsibility are necessary to achieve that objective? (external conditions)) Which risks should be taken into consideration?
Expected results on implementation of the resource
Inclusive learning intervention logic: (The results are the outputs envisaged to upscale. What are the expected results?)
The network has three main objectives: a) collecting and systematizing all existing competence and skills: educational researches, clinical initiatives, know-how of resources centers and users’ associations; b) developing new knowledge related to settings, tools and methodologies associated with the play of children with disabilities; c) disseminating the best practices emerging from the joint effort of researchers, practitioners and users.
Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the indicators to measure whether and to what extent the action/resource achieves the expected results?)
Sources and means of verification: (What are the available sources of information for these indicators?)
Risks and Challenges: (What external conditions must be met to obtain the expected results on schedule?)
Activities
Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What are the key activities to be carried out and in what sequence in order to reach the expected results?)
This e-book learning recourse is divided into 4 Chapters:
1. Evaluation tools: notes on definition, reliability, validity and administration
2. The evaluation of play from occupational therapy and psychology perspectives
3. Review of tools for play and play based assessment
4. Play assessment tools and methodologies: the view of practitioners
Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the means required to implement these activities, e.g. personnel, equipment, training, studies, supplies, operational facilities, etc.)
Equipment: PC and Internet access
Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of information about action progress?)
Risks and Challenges: (What pre-conditions are required before the use of the resource starts? What conditions outside the user's direct control have to be met for the implementation of the planned activities?)
