NO REVALIDATION WITHOUT INTEGRATION

In today's society, we increasingly appreciate the diversity and uniqueness of each child. Therefore, when we talk about the revalidation of children with disabilities, we must not forget about integration.

The first step is to understand the very concept of revalidation. It is an all-encompassing process that seeks to restore a disabled person to full function. It includes educational, therapeutic and educational aspects, focused on achieving the planned goals. A key element of this process is the inclusion of comprehensive theoretical knowledge and activities aimed directly at the disabled person.

However, the social aspects of revalidation cannot be overlooked. Social skills play an extremely important role in shaping the future life of a disabled person. They include a broad spectrum of competencies, such as physical fitness, intellectual ability, verbal communication skills, and the ability to work in a group and solve problems.

Introducing integration into the revalidation process is crucial for the full development of a child with a disability. Integration does not just mean the physical presence of different children in one place, but also creating conditions for learning and playing together. That is why it is so important that children with different abilities have the opportunity to interact and cooperate, and thus to support and understand each other.

One of the innovative solutions that support the integration process are special playgrounds. These spaces are designed to allow children of different abilities to play and learn together. Many of these playgrounds are set up next to schools and kindergartens, further facilitating integration in educational settings.

When planning and creating inclusive playgrounds, it is important to be guided by the criterion of effectiveness in actually integrating children's communities. These spaces should be adapted to the needs and abilities of different children, encouraging joint activity and creative play.

In practice, social interaction between children often takes place during play. This is why playgrounds play such an important role in the integration process. Traditional playgrounds tend to put children in situations of individual play, but inclusive playgrounds enable joint activity, which fosters relationships and social skills.

At Mammutico®, we are aware of the importance of perfectly chosen tools to promote integration whether in playgrounds, kindergartens or schools. Our blocks offer many advantages such as low weight, high durability, hygienic safety and variety of applications. Creating inclusive play spaces and using tools such as foam blocks is an important step towards giving all children an equal opportunity to develop and have a happy childhood.
