L’ ipovisione è un patologia irreversibile che comporta un grave deficit della funzione visiva, comporta implicazioni importanti sulla vita quotidiana della persona e se la lesione è congenita o precoce oltre ad impedire lo sviluppo del sistema visivo, compromette lo sviluppo psicofisico del bambino. Per questo motivo l’intervento precoce, mirato e sistematico è fondamentale per garantire la crescita armonica del bambino e il raggiungimento dell’autonomia a tal fine risulta importante svolgere esperienze dirette, diversificate e di natura plurisensoriale. Sebbene i luoghi artificiali siano spesso ritenuti più sicuri, numerosi studi dimostrano l’effetto positivo che l’ambiente naturale è in grado di svolgere sullo sviluppo dei bambini. La Nostra Famiglia è l’istituto italiano per eccellenza nel campo della cura, ricerca e riabilitazione di patologie in età evolutiva. Il progetto di tesi intende proporre un nuovo sistema riabilitativo in un ambiente naturale per i bambini ipovedenti. Il progetto è stato valutato dalla dottoressa Giuseppina Giammari referente per il reparto di ipovisione in età evolutiva del centro La Nostra Famiglia di Bosisio Parini, Lecco. Discovery Park è un percorso plurisensoriale dove il bambino può svolgere esperienze diverse in modo sicuro ed autonomo divertendosi. Il bambino viene guidato da un biodispositivo indossabile, con l’obiettivo di far conoscere ed esplorare l’ambiente naturale autonomamente, incontra due postazioni esperienziali dove tramite il gioco può sviluppare capacità specifiche: CatsCradle (capacità motorie, tattili, creative) tunnel con nastri elastici; Play Bridge ( capacità motorie, uditive, discriminatorie) ponte oscillante sonoro. È stato studiato un “progetto pilota” da sviluppare nel parco adiacente al reparto ipovisione de “La Nostra Famiglia” di Bosisio Parini; tale modello sarà esportabile in altri contesti quali parchi di altri centri, parchi urbani, scuole, etc. Inoltre è prevista la possibilità da parte dei genitori di simulare l’ipovisione del bambino tramite specifici ausili.

Abstract
Low vision is an unrecoverable disease which determines a great shortage in visual function. Low vision determines relevant implications on daily life and in case of early or congenital damage, it does not only prevent from visual system development, but it can also compromise the psychophysical develompment of the child. For al what said above, an early, focused and systematic intervention is basic in order to assure a balanced growth of the child and the achievement of self-government. In order to reach this objective particularly relevant is the possibility to perform direct, different and multisensorial experiences. Although artificial environment is often considered more safe, many studies prove the positive effect that natural environment is able to perform on children growth. La Nostra Famiglia is the italian most relevant institute in the field of care, research and rehabilitation of children and adolescents in their age of development. The project DISCOVERY PARK would like to propose a new rehabilitation system for partially-sighted children, developed in a natural environment. The project was studied and evaluated together with Doctor Giuseppina Giammari, responsible for low vision age of development department of the institute La Nostra Famiglia based in Bosisio Parini, Lecco. Discovery Park is a plurisensorial path where the child can perform different experiences in a safe and independent way, having fun.
