Description

In collaboration with MYLES, we had the opportunity to co-learn and co-design with teachers and parents at Malaysia’s Association for Down Syndrome at Persatuan Sindrom Down Malaysia (PSDM) in Ampang.

During the session, participants reflected on:
✨ the development aspects they prioritise
✨ the types of play that support this development
✨ how we can continue to co-design meaningful play spaces, making use of what already exists in the environment

We move into the next phase of developing conceptual designs to co-create an outdoor area which stimulates physical, social-emotional and cognitive developmental of children with Down syndrom.
