Putting yourself in the shoes of a fieldworker
With the help of Salsaparilla, a serious game company, Enablement Foundation developed this experiential learning tool for participants to experience their own limitations in understanding the life of the child with cerebral palsy. It helps understand what actually matters in the life of the child and their family, change your own mindset, and practice new ideas as well as develop new skills.
The key goals behind this tool are:
- To learn in an interactive way about a modern, outcome-oriented approach within the CBR strategy, and its significance for working effectively with a child with neuro-developmental delays/disability and their family.
- To experience the difference between developing interventions based on the “sickness and cure” paradigm, with interventions that are the result of working in a paradigm of “acceptance, participation, inclusion and functional developmental”.
- To understand that this new method requires thinking differently, doing things differently and organising care differently.
