First Steps in Child Developmental Support

First Steps in Child Developmental Support is a serious game about child development support and the process of therapeutic interventions. You play as a nursing student or support worker on placement at a child development support facility, assisting children with developmental traits and learning alongside staff and caregivers.

Support in practice

The story presents practical interventions and challenges involved in supporting children. Your choices introduce appropriate support methods and the importance of communicating with caregivers, with explanations accompanying each choice to deepen your understanding.

A collaborative setting

The game recreates real-life support settings under the supervision of child development support experts. You see nursery teachers, child development support managers and occupational therapists collaborate to support children, and encounter the children, their families and the professionals working with them.

Who it is for

The game is intended for medical and welfare students, middle and high school students interested in child development support, people interested in therapeutic interventions and child development, and parents and support workers seeking appropriate support strategies. It takes approximately one hour to play, and a save function lets you resume at any time. The knowledge covered can be applied to parenting and professional support settings.
