AbilityNet and Play AT IT
The project ran for two years, from April 2008 to March 2010. It had five planned outcomes:
Outcome 1
Children with disabilities experienced new technological access methods to support learning through play.
Outcome 2
Children with disabilities will have the ability to choose and control their play environment through new approaches in play provision.
Outcome 3
Children with disabilities had inclusive play opportunities, where they were previously often sidelined on account of their disabling condition.
Outcome 4
18 nurseries across England received the necessary specialist equipment, training and support to provide inclusive play opportunities to children with disabilities.
Outcome 5
36 local authorities teams of “Early Years Professionals” were trained, supported and had access to an extensive Loan Bank of assistive ICT equipment, so they were able to provide inclusive play opportunities for the children they were supporting.
