DOLLSVILLA'S
FOR CHILDREN WITH |
|
DISABILITIES |
|
|
|
2025 will be the year that the
DollsVilla by Liliane® will find its
playgrounds on a large scale with Dutch
[young] children with a mental and/or
physical disability. Some experience has
already been gained with this in the
period 1999-2024. |
|
|
|
The Dutch Adelante Zorggroep:
"A regular dollhouse with its little
dolls is not usable within Adelante.
Children with a motor delay or disorder
can do great with the handy, robust,
strong furniture of the DollsVilla by
Liliane®." |

PLAYING WITH A
BEAUTIFUL GIFT - |
|
|
FOR THE BARTIMÉUSSCHOOL ZEIST |
|
| |
|
Paula Sterkenburg is a clinical psychologist
at Bartiméus and a special professor at the
Faculty of Behavioural and Movement Sciences
at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She
conducts research into social relationships
and attachment in people with a visual and/or
intellectual disability: "A very special day
at Bartiméus! As a gift with the #Vroeg
Employee of the Year award, Ellen Van Den
Broek and Ans van Eijden received a
beautiful DollsVilla made by Liliane Limpens." |
| |
|
The Dutch Academische werkplaats Affect-us
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam: "Today was a
party at the Bartiméus school in Zeist.
Ellen Van Den Broek and Ans van Eijden had a
question for the children who were eagerly
awaiting the unveiling of the gift under the
big canvas. 'Who among you has ever won a
prize?' Several fingers went up in the air.
Ans and Ellen themselves had never won a
prize, they said. But now they had suddenly
succeeded through the prize from the
magazine Vroeg. All their work, including
the book 'Spelen natuurlijk' (Playing
naturally), was honoured with this prize.
All nominees, including Ans and Ellen, were
allowed to receive a beautiful dollhouse
from a generous donor, which they could then
give away to a good destination. The
Bartimeus school was one of the lucky ones." |
|
|
|
|
"The dollhouse or rather the DollsVilla made
by Liliane Limpens invites you to play
together. It is spacious, mobile and made of
beautiful material. The school itself had
found barbies in all shapes and sizes.
Barbies with a cane, barbies with a
wheelchair or with a hearing aid. The barbie
with the cane was chosen to be the first to
enter the DollsVilla together with a child.
Playing becomes a party in this way and...
very natural!" |

DOLLSVILLA
TO A POLISH DOLL |
|
A DollsVilla toilet is on its way to a
Polish doll. A mother in Kórnik, near
Poznań, discovers this Dutch design
piece of furniture.
|
|
|
|
She is going to use it as a training
tool to playfully toilet-train her son >
3 years old. If he lets his favorite
cuddly toy discover the toilet, it is of
course a small step to himself.

DOLLSVILLA STRENGTHENS PLAYFULLY |
|
CHILDREN WITH AUTISME AND AD[H]D |
|
|
|
Children
with autism and AD[H]D have been playing
with the DollsVilla for several months
during development weekends and midweeks
of Happy KidsCare Delft. The
professionals are enthusiastic about the
effects. |
|
|
|
“A plan of
action was drawn up during a team meeting: ‘The goal of the DollsVilla is to
develop a play corner that supports young people from Happy KidsCare in
their social-emotional development, provides insight into their family
system and helps them make play appointments during supervision. This can be
achieved by means of a creative and interactive dollhouse, in which the
supervisors actively participate and simultaneously observe the young people.’ |
|
|
|
What are
the experiences with the DollsVilla? |
|
“What we
see in practice is that mainly young girls and boys from 6 to 10 years old
use the DollsVilla. There are children who play alone, and there are
children who play together. Children who are less socially skilled, for
example because of a language deficit, are increasingly drawn to the
DollsVilla. In addition, there are also older youth who score somewhat lower
socially and emotionally and who also feel attracted to the villa.” |
|
|
|
“During
Happy Time moments, we see that children can express and explore their
emotions while playing with the DollsVilla. Supervisors can observe and
support them and teach them what their roles are within a family situation.
It is also visible that unprocessed experiences in children with autism come
to the fore. The DollsVilla offers an accessible way to talk to them about
this.” |

| |
|
Happy KidsCare ensures that children between the
ages of 6 and 18 learn a lot about themselves
and others through play. In addition, the child
is stimulated in its development through
activities. This development stimulation is
easily accessible and comes from the child's own
capabilities. The young person has a place where
it can count on a stable, alternative upbringing
and living situation. Here, self-reliance and
social skills can be worked on. |
