Children with Special Needs and Outdoors

Different actions need to be taken for each individual child, and their special needs. Help children understand their playground. Show them, and explain to them the different areas - where traffic will be, and where it is safe to sit. Help visually impaired children by touching everything, and explaining at the same time. Help hearing impaired children learn the sounds of running feet, or a bicycle moving. If children have a physical impairment, it is best to discuss with their personal care supervisor, or their family to learn their history. Place handle bars, and ramps where needed, and tables of toys, or a water/sand table for children in wheel chairs. There is plenty of help and contact with the 4C's. http://www.sanmateo4cs.org/
