KDC Aandachtslab is a daytime care centre especially for children with PIMD. It seeks to provide individualised support aimed at maximising each child’s development and their quality of life. Physical activity plays a key role in KDC Aandachtslab’s approach.
KDC Aandachtslab
Children with PIMD cannot engage in physical activity without a lot of support from other people. At KDC Aandachtslab, the physical activities are tailored to suit the needs and wishes of each individual child. Physical activity is part of the daily programme for all the children and requires the commitment and involvement of the entire team.
Benefits to practice
KDC Aandachtslab is the first children’s daytime care centre in the Netherlands to offer this form of physical activity-based support. The aim of the current project is to evaluate the viability and efficacy of this innovative support approach.
If the approach proves effective, KDC Aandachtslab can serve as a model for other children’s daytime care centres wishing to make physical activity central to their support of children with PIMD.
