Wheelchair friendly?
This activity might not be suitable for people who use wheelchairs. “Wheelchair Friendly Activities” has a list of activities that are easy to adapt for wheelchair users. This list isn’t exhaustive, so we invite you to come up with your own creative ideas to make any activity work for you. If you have an idea on how to make this or any other activity more accessible for wheelchair users, We’d love to hear your ideas on how to make this or any other activity accessible for wheelchair users. Thank you for helping make play more inclusive!
Modifications to make the activity easier:
Change the environment:
- make the path that the child has to follow in the snow very straight to decrease physical demand
- have the child hold onto a parent or adult during the activity to decrease physical demand
Modifications to make the activity harder:
Change the environment: increase the number of times that the child needs to turn in the trail to increase physical demand
Change the task: have the child complete the activity while only staying on one leg to increase physical demand
Goal examples:
- I will be able to follow a path that is 10m long in the snow
- I can follow the tracks in the snow in front of me
