Our Challenge
Children with multiple disabilities (especially those with levels IV-V of the Gross Motor Function Classification System - GMFCS) face numerous barriers to performing activities of daily living and integrating into a society that is currently not designed to meet their needs. The combination of the difficulties inherent in neurological injury and the fact that society, cities and homes are designed for people who meet normative requirements results in significant social exclusion. Often these people end up needing to be accompanied by an adult to carry out any activity, thus limiting their autonomy. Technology adapted to the needs of children with disabilities can help reduce their dependency. We live in a digitalised and technological world, but existing technological solutions are often inaccessible or unknown to families, who cannot integrate them into their daily lives. Therefore, a comprehensive approach is needed. This includes changes in the physical environment, in the use of technology, and in social and institutional awareness to achieve full integration.
