how to adapt a sensory activity for a child with special needs?

Answer 1

We need a little more information in order to help you. What is the nature of the special need? For example, does the child have a hearing impairment, or a learning disability, or a physical disability? How you do the adaptation depends on the disability and the child's strengths and needs. Possibly if you can add details you may get several good suggestions. I'm sure there are lots of people here who could give you some help if you add details. Take care.

Hiya
It depends on the task and the childs indevidual need along with what you wat the child to get out of the task.
Most people who have additional needs absorb more information when the task is a multi sensory one. Ie if someome is blind a task that involves smell and touch and sound would be so much more stimulating then just listening to someone. If someone is deaf then a task that embraces their functioning senses.
I have worked with children and young people with additional needs and I am the mother of a child who has additional needs aswell. I find the more multi sensory it is the more fun it is, and the more people will remember.
I cant suggest any adaptations without knowing the task in question but If you need any ideas let me know.
Be happy
