All children learn by playing. It is important that children with special needs take part in activities with all children, including those who do not have special needs. All children can learn from one another. Your child has as much to give to others as he or she will receive from others.
Good friendships can develop as children learn to work and play together.
If your child has a brother or sister, encourage them to play together. They will learn from one another, building confidence and skills needed for playing and being with others outside of the family. You can help your child learn by including your child in many different activities. You and others who care for your child may need to think of new ways to make or buy toys, furniture, or other tools to help your child learn. Think about what your child does well.
