Play is the most important activity and a right for children with disabilities; to be playful, it should be funny, intrinsically motivated, interactive, inclusive. It should overcome possible impairments, and it should be facilitated by environmental accomodations. Awareness and knowledge on the topic need to be increased and disseminated among families and professionals. This book has the ambition of laying the foundation for a new study field.
