WHAT IS THE GAME4COSKILLS PROJECT?
The European project Game4CoSkills (“Mobile game for cognitive skills development and concept teaching for adults with intellectual disabilities”) has enabled the creation of a video game that stimulates the development of cognitive skills of adults with intellectual disabilities.
The game can be played on a computer, a tablet or a smartphone, individually or in groups.
RESULTS
The Game4CoSkills project is divided into 4 main results called Project Results (PR), with specific activities and tasks.
PR1 – Cognitive skills development and concept teaching scenarios
The essential purpose of the “Cognitive skills development and concept teaching scenarios” is to recognize the target users’ characteristics, learning needs, and accessible learning objectives. It will contain learning objectives and training schemes for cognitive skills development and concept teaching scenarios. The result is based on a research to be applied to 50 trainers of adults with intellectual disabilities in each partner country, a national report on the results of the aforementioned research and the subsequent definition of the applicable teaching scenarios.
