What is a serious game? At SquarePeg we develop serious games that have a clear learning purpose in addition to entertainment. The aim of 'Andrew's Cards' is to combine important and serious aspects of people’s lives at a time of change or transition with a fun approach. bit.ly/4eVHW3K

Design of the environment around us is just as important to people with a learning disability & dementia - but there may be differences. Think about the height of a person with Down's syndrome. Do chairs enable someone to keep their feet on the floor? Or are they are at increased risk of back pain?
