The volume illustrates the PILP, a structured program aimed at enhancing cognitive function and preventing the effects of learning disorders in preschool children with intellectual disabilities, starting from 18 months old. This educational program offers playful activities and is designed to help children develop the cognitive and thinking strategies underlying any form of learning which are necessary for future autonomy.

The PILP program offers meaningful games and experiences that allow children to:

  • make the most of the peak of childhood brain development;
  • structure correct cognitive habits and prevent the establishment of dysfunctional behaviors;
  • build the conceptual tools necessary for a profitable educational path in kindergarten and in primary school.
