Play Ideas
We have a new tab on the Blog which some of you may have already noticed and are accessing. The tab, ‘Play Ideas’, contains a selection of practical suggestions for developing play with additional support needs in mind. They may contain more sensory elements or have been broken down into smaller steps to help build up skills gradually.
The list of Play Ideas is being added to regularly so please ‘follow’ to get updates as they are added.
If there is any topic or activity you would like to see elaborated in this way please let us know via the ‘comments’.
