OPEN explores how children aged 0–12 with disabilities can fully participate in play and education, with children and their parents at the heart of the project. Together with UMC Utrecht and the Knowledge Centre for Rehabilitation Medicine Utrecht (KCRU), and in collaboration with children, parents and professionals, we identify social barriers and develop solutions to create more inclusive environments.
