A persona is a fictional yet research-based profile that represents key characteristics, needs, and behaviors of a user group. In this project, each persona captures typical everyday situations, challenges, and hopes of children who have experienced a stroke and their families. These profiles can help designers, researchers, and decision-makers to empathize more deeply, and to create environments that better respond to real needs. To better understand the context and methodology behind the persona-set, visit the Introduction and Glossary. The personas can also be downloaded as printable A4 and A3 PDFs for workshops, teaching, design projects, and personal use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Explore the clickable personas below for a concise introduction to our findings.

They are built from data reflecting real people\u2019s experiences, with the intention to help others imagine how different individuals experience everyday life, challenges, and opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><br>This persona-set captures the stories of children recovering from stroke and their families. This set was developed within BUILD CARE, a multidisciplinary research project exploring how the spaces where these children live, learn, and receive care influence their recovery and quality of life. The research included families in three European countries (Austria, Belgium, and Germany). It gathered insights into experiences of both informal environments, such as homes, neighbourhoods, and schools, and formal care spaces, such as hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation centres.<\/p>\n<p>This persona development was based on interviews with 30 families affected by childhood stroke, cognitive data from standardised neuropsychological testing with 15 children, and findings from an online survey exploring the well-being and socioeconomic impacts on these families, completed by over 100 families across the three participating countries.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-9c4u406-1\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-9c4u406-1-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">WHO IS THIS PERSONA-SET FOR?<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-9c4u406-1-content\" data-id=\"acc-9c4u406-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_bq36213\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_aj9a214 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_weck214   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Architects, designers, healthcare professionals<\/span> \u2013 the personas can help you better understand the everyday lives of children affected by stroke, including those who make a full recovery and those living with lasting disabilities. They highlight both the challenges children and their families face in the built environment and the creative strategies they adopt to cope. The personas capture not just the physical needs, but also the cognitive and emotional aspects of life after stroke. By sharing these insights, the personas can inspire creating more inclusive, supportive, and enabling environments.<\/p>\n<p><br><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Families affected by childhood stroke<\/span> \u2013 the personas may be just as valuable to you. Many of you will recognise pieces of your own story in these personas, which may help to feel seen and understood. They may also open up conversations about what kinds of spaces and features in the built environment really make a difference in everyday life. As you shape care environments in everyday ways and through formal decisions during the design process, this resource can help you imagine possibilities beyond your own personal experiences. In this way, the personas become a shared reference point connecting families, practitioners, and researchers in building a common understanding of what it can mean to live with the lasting effects of childhood stroke.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n

The rhythmic scrape of his foot orthosis on the tiles &#8211; clack, shff, clack &#8211; then a soft thud as he drops his rucksack. He sometimes calls his right leg his \u201cfavourite leg\u201d. It\u2019s the one that doesn\u2019t always cooperate. His parents smile and say, \u201cThat leg just needs an extra invitation sometimes.\u201d Ben is eight and had a stroke when he was very young, too young to understand it at the time. Now he explains it like this: \u201cSomething broke in my head. Like a water balloon popping. Since then, my right arm and leg feel kind of numb. I can\u2019t feel them properly.\u201d At home, there are helpful tools everywhere: a cutting board and an automatic soap dispenser designed for one-handed use, grab bars in the bathroom, and a second handrail on the stairs. Still, Ben stumbles more than other children. Balance is difficult, especially outside, like the playground down the road.

Math isn\u2019t his favourite: he likes the numbers but talking about them is difficult. Still, he\u2019s proud he can count to infinity. And he does &#8211; often while at dinner, trying to grab sushi with his colourful chopsticks. \u201cNinety-three, ninety-four\u2026\u201d Rice sticks to his fingers. His mom just smiles and quietly wipes soy sauce off the floor. At Ben\u2019s school, learning and therapy go hand in hand. Between German class (which he doesn\u2019t really like) and physio (which he sometimes loves, sometimes hates), there\u2019s often just one corridor. Ben has hemiparesis, a complicated word. His therapist explains it like this: \u201cImagine the brain talks to the body &#8211; like on the phone. It says, \u2018Move your hand!\u2019 or \u2018Lift your foot!\u2019 But Ben\u2019s phone line to the right side is damaged. It crackles, cuts out, or goes silent. So the message don\u2019t get through, or are delayed.\u201d There are supports in place, but every day is still a balancing act &#8211; between focus, fatigue, therapy, and the simple desire to just be a kid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #374c9b;\"><em><strong>\u201cEven getting him to use his right hand at all &#8211; to <\/strong><\/em><\/span><em style=\"color: #374c9b; font-size: 1.52087rem;\"><strong>bring it into play &#8211; that\u2019s something we worked on a lot during rehab, too.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><span style=\"color: #374c9b; font-size: 1.52087rem;\"> mother<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-uaag689-2\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-uaag689-2-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">One Button at a Time<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-uaag689-2-content\" data-id=\"acc-uaag689-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_cbaq770\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_alt2770 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_sga6770   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: atk; color: #000000;\">A year ago, Ben spent four weeks at a rehabilitation centre. Every day was full of therapy: physical, occupational, and speech. His favourite part?<br>Swimming. \u201cIn the water, I feel light,\u201d he says.

We practised that in rehab. For other kids, buttoning trousers is nothing \u2013 for him, it took several sessions of physio to get there.\u201d<br><br><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: atk; color: #000000;\">His doctor at the social paediatric centre, where Ben goes for check-ups every six months, explains: \u201cThe left side of the brain controls the right side of the body. In Ben\u2019s case, that connection was damaged. But the brain can build new pathways. We call that neuroplasticity. It\u2019s quite incredible.\u201d Next week, his orthosis has to be refitted &#8211; Ben\u2019s growing. He used to hate it. Now he calls it his \u201cpower shoe.\u201d \u201cIt makes me a superhero,\u201d he says. \u201cMy right side needs special powers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n\n<\/div><!-- \/module accordion -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n\n<\/div><!-- \/module accordion -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-anchor=\"2\" data-css_id=\"nvnu753\" data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row fullwidth tb_has_section tb_section-2 tb_nvnu753 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_8eln753 first\">\n                            <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_2 tb_l3p253\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col4-2 tb_u8m353 first\">\n                    <!-- module image -->\n<div  class=\"module module-image tb_9yq553 image-center   tf_mw\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div class=\"image-wrap tf_rel tf_mw\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/build-care.codip.tu-dresden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Ella.jpg\" width=\"368\" height=\"369\" title=\"Anna\" alt=\"Anna\">    \n        <\/div>\n    <!-- \/image-wrap -->\n    \n        <div class=\"image-content\">\n                    <h3 class=\"image-title\">\n                                    Anna                            <\/h3>\n                    <\/div>\n    <!-- \/image-content -->\n        <\/div>\n<!-- \/module image -->        <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col4-2 tb_tb4853 last\">\n                            <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_2 tb_b3ys53\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col4-2 tb_c6jm53 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_th1n53   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h3>Ella<\/h3>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col4-2 tb_4bhd53 last\">\n                            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_whbe53   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Personal<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">12-year-old girl<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Has a twin sister and four other siblings<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">The family lives in a terraced house with good access to therapy and support services<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Attends a regular school<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">A bit shy, has only a few close friends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: 'Atkinson hyperlegible', sans-serif;

\u201cDuring our stay at the rehabilitation centre, we realised how even the smallest door threshold can become an obstacle. Ella had great difficulty entering the treatment room in her wheelchair, especially in the older part of the building. Her hemiparesis affects the left side of her body, including her leg, making longer distances hard to manage without breaks. Our paediatrician had recommended the rehab to help her learn to walk more safely. For the first time, Ella didn\u2019t feel \u201cdifferent\u201d. There were other children facing similar challenges. In this environment, she could just be herself, without constantly having to explain her impairment. Still, it wasn\u2019t always easy. Her brothers and sisters visited at weekends, bringing some much-needed family joy into an otherwise clinical environment. The therapy sessions demanded a lot of energy and focus, and her attention difficulties made it hard for her to stay engaged. The area outside the therapy rooms was always chaotic &#8211; when all the children finished their sessions at the same time, it felt like a crowded train station. The dining hall was overwhelming too, with so many voices, so much noise. She quickly became overstimulated. There were few places to retreat, and sharing a room with me meant she had little space of her own.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #374c9b;\"><em><strong>\u201cThis wasn\u2019t her first rehab &#8211; it\u2019s actually been her fourth time now.

We drive the same route through the city. They\u2019re twelve, but I don\u2019t want them taking the school bus &#8211; it\u2019s already exhausting enough for Ella. I don\u2019t want her to feel any pressure or stress. As we enter the building through the automated glass door, we see the teacher, greeting us warmly, joking around, setting a good mood. Ella always jokes that she doesn\u2019t want to go to school, but I know she likes it here &#8211; much more than at her previous school. The elevator is already waiting, but I encourage her to use the stairs, just like she did in rehab. Back then, she managed to reach the top floor without help \u2013 something we never thought possible shortly after the stroke. Other children rush past, careless, unaware. I can feel how much effort each step takes for Ella. I insist on accompanying her to the classroom. The thought of her falling is unbearable. I don\u2019t even want to imagine what could happen. She gets annoyed that I watch her so closely, but I just want to be there &#8211; just in case. Step by step, I help her position her foot correctly, exactly how the physiotherapist taught us. She said that taking the stairs would strengthen the muscles affected by the hemiparesis.

For example, she can\u2019t simply go to therapy on her own like others her age might. Ella has physiotherapy twice a week, plus regular check-ups at the children\u2019s hospital or the social paediatric centre in a nearby town. Even something as basic as opening the heavy glass door to the therapy building is impossible without help. It becomes even more apparent in the city. There are barely any benches, no places where she can rest when walking becomes too exhausting. She tires quickly, and every step takes effort. Stairs, uneven pavements, long distances are a challenge for her. When I think about it, there\u2019s probably only one place where the stroke doesn\u2019t play a role: her own room, in her bed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em style=\"color: #374c9b; font-size: 1.52087rem;\"><strong>\u201cShe doesn\u2019t always realise it, but sometimes even a <\/strong><\/em><em style=\"color: #374c9b; font-size: 1.52087rem;\"><strong>small curb <\/strong><\/em><em style=\"color: #374c9b; font-size: 1.52087rem;\"><strong>or a stupidly place stone can cause he to <\/strong><\/em><em style=\"color: #374c9b; font-size: 1.52087rem;\"><strong>fall.

\u201cAs a grandparent, I find comfort in knowing the places where my grandchildren feel safe and happy. One of those places is with us. I don&#8217;t remember a time when Lenny was without their parents, except for those moments when they\u2019re with us. Lenny loves to visit because they get our full attention.<br><br><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">School is of course another exception and a place that is important for them. Therapies, like physio, are integrated at school, as are regular check-ups by doctors from the university hospital. The staff there truly understand how to support such children. With small classes of no more than 8 children and always 2 or 3 teachers present, the environment is less overwhelming for Lenny than when they were in a regular class. They feel confident doing stuff there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br>The class and furniture is made in such a way that they can reach things and help each other. Since they started attending this school, Lenny has blossomed. They love going to school so much that even when they\u2019re sick, they don&#8217;t want to stay home. School is something of a second home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br>Lenny: \u201cThe playground is my favourite place, especially the swing.

With our son, it\u2019s different\u2014he\u2019s healthy, and I don\u2019t feel the same concern. Lenny is healthy too, but it\u2019s not the same. Everyday we find ways to encourage them. We have to struggle against the effects of paralysis by practising, stretching and massage. Tigo doesn\u2019t face the same challenges, and I know he\u2019ll be fine. Sure, every child gets sick now and then, but with Lenny, this overprotectiveness remains.<br><br><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: atk; color: #000000;\">This is reflected in other things as well. Our son for example finds his own way to and from school by bicycle &#8211; as long as the weather is OK &#8211; while we organise transport by bus for Lenny all year round. Although one of us always tries to join Tigo for his tennis classes, he is quite aware that his sibling constantly gets extra attention.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: atk; color: #000000;\"><br>Lenny: \u201cMy mother always helps me with dressing, in the morning, at bed-time, for bath time or when we go swimming.

However, as Lenny grows older, the differences between them and other children become more pronounced and harder to handle. They need help with everyday activities, like making sandwiches. Also hitting a ball with a tennis racket or skateboarding, highlight their struggles with balance, sight and coordination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: atk;\"><br>Initially, after the stroke, there were so many unknowns, and we thought Lenny might need to use a\u00a0wheelchair. At that time we made our home step-free to ensure easy accessibility. However, more recently we&#8217;ve realized that having steps and stairs could have actually helped with their rehabilitation.

Yet, the fear of another stroke stays with them, shaping every decision they make. Her doctors take strict precautions, restricting her from engaging in most sports. Soccer, which she loves, is no longer an option. Also, when she expressed a desire to join a karate club, it was immediately ruled out as too risky. These limitations are frustrating for Mia, she gets very upset and her frustration is sometimes hard to deal with for her parents as she starts venting and hitting things at home.

Until now, she was so young that she had to be sedated and sober for the testing, turning each appointment into an exhausting, hours-long struggle. The process involved long periods of waiting, they often had to sit in the hallway for up to three hours. Mia received contrast medium, was scanned, and then waited again until she fully woke up.

She spent a few months in the hospital with multiple therapy sessions each week. When she first returned home for a weekend, it felt like a family reunion \u2013 her dad, grandparents, and her dog were all at her mum\u2019s house to welcome her. Her family was surprised by how quickly she progressed in her home environment. Even after just two days in the familiar environment, she suddenly dared to do things she hadn\u2019t before: using the stairs by herself, yet always with a helping hand close by since initially she was afraid of falling and tired quickly, or moving around independently. She also explored the garden and brightened up while walking her dog. The familiar surroundings clearly boosted her confidence and independence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br>Grandparents: \u201cMia loves spending time at our place. We often care for her in the afternoons after school and on weekends when both her parents have to work. The bedrooms are on the first floor, so the many stairs worried us at first, but luckily we had a guest room on the ground floor that we could prepare for her to make her stay easier. Even though Mia now runs up the stairs confidently, we still keep a close eye on her during visits.\u201d<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n

With an income of \u20ac20 000 per year they get by in their everyday life, but there is nothing left at the end of the month. Theo needed some special equipment that further tightens their budget.

It\u2019s the only place where he feels confident, curious, and accepted by his peers. As he got older, he became more aware of his challenges and felt increasingly disconnected from other children. But in rehab, he feels a sense of belonging. It felt like an ever-expanding environment \u2013 each day in the first year, he was able to explore more of the facility, overcoming one challenge after another: In the first years at the rehab facility, we weren\u2019t able to do much. He spent most of his time lying in bed and needed a wheelchair for assistance. Our room became our castle \u2013 I used sheets to turn his bed into a little fortress. As he improved, we gradually discovered new areas. At first, we took short walks in the hallways, down to the lobby and back.

The coach is always showing me new ways to make my hands and fingers stronger. In the beginning I could only do the very, very easy bouldering routes but last week I went to the top of a harder one. My legs are very important but I wouldn\u2019t have been able to do it without gripping with my hands too. Even my helping hand is getting stronger.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br>Mother: \u201cHe really feels alive again since he truly seems to enjoy climbing. It not only helps with his motor skills but also boosts his confidence. Since the stroke, he has been very reluctant to try new things. Last Christmas, he received a bouldering wall for his room as a group gift from me and some friends. I always try to bring therapy into our home \u2013 whether from occupational therapy or rehab \u2013 by incorporating tools like a sitting ball and swings, for example, or small games that he likes. Motivation at home is difficult though, I try to incorporate therapy in a playful way \u2013 that really helps.\u201d<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n

His trains take over the living room, sometimes extending into the kitchen. Mum moves the coffee table to give Zack space. My brother stomps his feet and easily gets frustrated. It can be intense, so our parents keep him downstairs for safety, with his toys\u00a0 often, he\u2019s on \u2018my\u2019 PlayStation. He needs a bit of help with this but also has his own tricks to make it work for him. Dad and I focus on other things\u2014I\u2019m often in the attic, Dad has his bee-keeping activities and regularly works evenings. Weekends get busier when he\u2019s home from boarding school, especially if our sister visits. Dad takes him to the forest while Mum jogs, does chores, or takes me to handball matches. The handball club is really an outlet to our family. Zack loves the sports hall, where the big open space lets him see everything during training\u2014throwing the ball, zigzagging obstacles. It baffles me how he can navigate walking on quite a narrow bench there but needs help with something as simple as the toilet at home. I struggled sometimes with how much attention he needed, so our parents converted the attic into my retreat. Mum says my brother is happiest with just her, Dad, and him at home. Even a visit from our older sister can upset him, making family balance challenging at times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #374c9b;\"><em><strong>\u201cI struggled sometimes with how much attention he needed, so our parents converted <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>the attic into my retreat.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> brother<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-5n67896-2\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-5n67896-2-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">People and Spaces that Support Zack<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-5n67896-2-content\" data-id=\"acc-5n67896-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_41b5108\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_mbtr108 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_99j9108   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Father: \u201cWe\u2019ve been to the hospital a lot, a lot: paediatrics, urology, psychiatry, immunology, special dental care &#8230; Currently, we\u2019re going about once every 3 weeks. He is terribly afraid of hospitals. The main reason is because he really doesn\u2019t like staying there alone overnight. If at all possible, my wife stays with him.

During school holidays, he attends their camps, where they combine social activities with therapy. They even have a specially designed garden where you can explore textures and smells through different types of paths and plants \u2013 they call this a \u2018snoezel garden\u2019.\u201d<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n\n<\/div><!-- \/module accordion -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n\n<\/div><!-- \/module accordion -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-anchor=\"6\" data-css_id=\"efij517\" data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row fullwidth_row_container tb_has_section tb_section-6 tb_efij517 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_fy9q517 first\">\n                            <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_k42s517\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col-full tb_1g5e517 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_y4qy590   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"color: #374c9b;\">Feedback from architects\/designers, healthcare professionals, and persons with lived experience<\/strong><\/h3>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_803u204   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The following anonymous feedback comes from two expert panels conducted in German and Dutch, where experts in architecture and design, healthcare, and people with lived experience discussed the persona-set with the BUILD CARE researchers.
