Abstract:
This analysis and evaluation tool offers a new perspective on a previously underestimated aspect: the usability of toys and games for children with disabilities. It will certainly be useful to toy manufacturers, education and rehabilitation professionals, play teachers, teachers and family members in designing, selecting and adapting toys and games that meet the needs of all children. From an inclusive perspective, this one-of-a-kind tool supports children with the widest variety of abilities – especially those with auditory, visual and lower limb motor impairments – to play for the pleasure of playing with easily accessible and accessible toys and games. usable. A quick analysis with the TUET makes it possible to identify game materials with these characteristics.
