Abir Mullick

Currently, Professor Mullick is directing a three-year sponsored project called Inclusive Indoor Play, funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, U.S. Department of Education. This project which will study play behavior and play needs of children with and without disabilities, will develop new designs of play environments and construct working prototypes that will be placed in actual play environments and tested with children. He also serves as the universal design expert for another project called Universal Design Play, funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, U.S. Department of Education. This project, which focuses on universal design as it applies to toys for children, is expected to produce an assessment tool that will allow parents to select, designers to design and purchasers to buy universal design toys.
