Posted 3 months 8 days ago by The LEGO Foundation
Demonstrate learning through play for children with visual impairment
Playful experiences support all children in practising and developing a breadth of skills that are essential for them to thrive and successfully navigate a complex and ever-changing world.
This short course will introduce you to a tool designed to provide a shared understanding and methodology of playful experiences for children with visual impairment. This knowledge will help you observe, reflect upon, and improve children’s playful experiences.
Learn how to improve blind children’s playful learning
The Learning through Play Experience Tool is designed to provide facilitators and designers with a comprehensive framework for understanding and enhancing children’s play experiences.
Throughout this course, you’ll learn how to use this tool to improve a child’s play experiences, particularly for children with visual impairments. This tool ensures the children develop all five essential skills, physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and creative.
You’ll also delve further into more nuanced concepts, including the characteristics of play and behavioural coding.
Gain insights from experts in play-based learning
By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to advocate for and design equal access and quality learning experiences for all children.
