Science Daily has an interesting article concerning two researchers, James C. (Cole) Galloway and Sunil Agrawal at the University of Delaware, who have provided kid-size robots to babies and make mobility available to disabled children who have been unable to fully explore the world on their own. Also, the robots allow the children to interact with other children and develop social skills.
Up to this point, I had not linked the idea that children learn much of their basic skills (emotional, physical, social, etc.,) during the first few years of of life with disabled children. However, this article has caused me to think more broadly concerning developing early education activities and designing activities where disabled children could participate.
