By Jordan Schmidt


People with disabilities often need to stay busy because they become bored quickly. There are many great special needs activities NYC that can keep these individuals moving and staying active. Many people young and old find great joy in staying busy.

Putting puzzles together is a great way to challenge the individual. Start will really simple pieces at first. Once you know what types of puzzles they like and the age level they are on, you can then purchase the puzzles accordingly. Young children might also be interest in Legos. You can also purchase them on different age levels as well. Both activities are great to challenge young minds, and even older minds.

Art & Crafts is a wonderful idea to help individuals express themselves. Most people love to draw, paint and just see their ideas put down on paper. They can also learn to build crafty items in class or just put things together to make one object. There are many classes that are taught during the summer and just about any other time of the year for people of all ages.

House chores are a necessity in order to leave in a clean and healthy environment. However, it might be a bit more difficult to get your child excited about doing it. Get creative and make a game during the process of cleaning. Remember, children love to win at games and receive treats. No, the treat should not be the clean room for them, even if it is for you.

Strawberry picking is a lot of fun as well. Children can pick strawberries, clean and eat them. It is a great experience for those who enjoy being outside in the garden. You can also do the same with cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables or fruits. Children also love picking apples that have fallen from an apple tree. You can then teach them how to make applesauce.

Volunteering in the community can be fun. However, it is important to find someone that understands your childs special needs and will help work with them. It takes special people with compassion and understanding to help work with a child with disabilities. Be very selective when leaving your loved one with individuals. They can learn how to deliver food to the elderly. Help clean up at the church during the week. Some can even help some of the elderly people in the community cut their grass. It might even turn into a paying gig for some.

Visiting the library is a great way to get children involved in reading and selecting books. Children can pick out books that they like, read or share them during story time. Reading is a great way to escape into a different world and use the imagination.

Fishing is very fun and serene for those who have special needs. It provides a great chance to allow individuals to get outside and enjoy the environment.
