Whether your disabled child likes to watch hours of nfl sports channel on end or they’d rather be out in the yard playing games with their friends there are a few ways you can encourage their love for sports. Here are our suggestions for sports and the life of your disabled child:
Get them in a league: If your child likes to actually participate in sports, get them in a low-competition, easy impact sports league. Some great options are soccer and softball since they’re heavily team based but make sure you talk with the coach thoroughly before sign up.
Pick a Team: Work with your child to pick a favorite sports team in the area or state then encourage them to become super fans. Decorate their room in team colors and take them to live games, if possible.
Work on Motor Skills: Depending on your child’s ability, work with them on motor skills related to their favorite sport. If they love baseball, work on catching and throwing if it’s bowling, take them to the lanes for a fun afternoon.
