Activities that are Perfect for your Child with Special Needs

It certainly cannot be stated enough, kids love to have fun and enjoy learning from fun.  For special needs kids this is not different at all and finding the right special needs activities that offer plenty of fun for kids to enjoy is extremely important.  Not only do most kids learn from fun, but special needs kids are able to advance faster when they are able to engage in some fun things to do.  This makes sure kids are able to get the therapy they need and be able to have lots of fun at the same time.

Yoga for Kids- Learning how to perform Yoga moves helps kids learn how to stretch their bodies and figure out what they can do.  The sensation and body control needed to perform these movements will help kids learn how to control and focus on their body in order to be enjoyable and certainly beneficial for kids.

•    Light Boxes – This gives them a special way to focus on the light as it changes, offers a variety ofpatterns and pictures and even show off some transparent shapes.  Putting one of these in their room could act as a great comfort device for your younger child.

For younger kids, getting them started with some fun special needs activities, here are some ideas:

•    Sensory Tables – Use sensory tables that have a variety of activities on them to keep things clean and fun.  Some ideas are sand and water tables where you can substitute items for the sand such as rice or beans.  Using different textures on the table allows kids to feel the sensations of these items.If you are looking for some great special needs activities for your child to engage in come in and see us at any of our WRTS locations, we can help you learn what you can play with your child.

Music Fun – Find the instruments or music your child loves and let them play and have a great time dancing to the music or playing their own instrument.  You might discover a special hidden talent when you allow your child to enjoy the fun of playing music.
