Easy Adaptations in Everyday Activities and Settings

Description Every child, regardless of ability, deserves to be challenged and given opportunities to participate and learn within the same activities and routines as their family and peers. Natural environments are those everyday setting where every day, every child is given opportunity to develop positive relationships with others, learn to get what they want and need through cognitive development and communication, and engage in a variety of activities throughout the day. Inclusion doesn't often require expensive or fancy equipment. For many children, inclusion means simple adaptations that any family member or caregiver can to without much time or expense. Collaboration, communication, and the sharing of ideas between families and team members can lead to easily implemented adaptations.

This session provides a framework to think about a child's access to and participation within everyday settings and activities and the supports necessary to implement easy adapdations by all caregivers in many settings.
