Recommendations

Info

Consider: • TIME. Keeping play periods short—end before child gives out. Give time to explore. • COMFORT. Keep the child comfortable and relaxed. • NOISE. Be aware of excessive or distracting noises. • LIGHT. Avoid glaring sunlight. • MOVEMENT. Avoid quick movement. • WATER. Warm water helps relax muscles. • UNDERSTANDING. Physically guide or demonstrate if needed. • TOYS/ACTIVITIES. Select toys and activities that encourage inclusion. • MODEL. Guide, model, or join in the game. • ENCOURAGE. Praise, accentuate the positive, and encourage to keep trying. • FUN. Participate and be enthusiastic by your body actions and voice. • DE<strong>SC</strong>RIBE. Talk about lights, shapes, sizes, rules. Teachers can help the child get the play and movement experiences he needs by adapting the physical environment. Children with motor impairments who have good cognitive skills may find computer skills are critical to their development in both academics and communication. Remember, if it isn’t FUN, it isn’t PLAY. Some activities may need adaptations, others the child may find extremely difficult or not be able to participate in certain activities. Do not frustrate the child. Be aware of what the child needs to play and have fun: What POSITIONS support and allow freedom? What EQUIPMENT or modifications are needed? What ACTIVITIES promote safe movement for the child? 116
Provide as many opportunities as possible for the child to enjoy play activities. Outside activities provide opportunities for developing social skills, addressing safety and accessibility, playing with outside equipment, and healthy, physical exercise. Painting (fine motor) – Enjoy making pictures or patterns with hands, fingers, or feet. Snapshots: • Child can use feet or toes versus hands or fingers. • Tape the paper to the table surface. • Add salt or sand for a change of texture. All children facing the challenge of different physical needs, need to develop respect for themselves and independence. Assistive technology devices assist children with self-help skills. Clothing/bathing adaptations support children in becoming independent. After basic health care needs are met, acceptance and encouragement are the next most basic needs of children with different abilities. We should never assume that a technology-dependent child cannot be included in the community. 117
