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!

Change the environment: have the child hold onto a parent or adult during the activity to decrease physical demand

Change the task: change the requirements of amber light to mean touch your toes and red light to mean stand on one foot to decrease physical demand

Change the environment: have child complete the activity close to another child to increase physical and social demand

Change the task: have the child alternate feet every time they have to hop on the spot or hold a stork stand to increase physical and cognitive demand
