The "Floortime" approach contends that the best way to facilitate communication with a child is to enter their world. For example, if a child is interested in rolling cars back and forth, a parent must get down on the floor with him, begin rolling cars together in patterns and sequences, and then start creating traffic jams and road accidents - creating situations that will generate communication between parent and child. It sounds simple, but in order to be effective, families must devote a tremendous amount of their time and energy into engaging their child and encouraging him to communicate.

It depends on the age and developmental level of the child. Instead of focusing on the disability, try to think of their developmental level and what they can do. I've played duck, duck, goose with preschool kids with downs, but have also done simple ball activities. Again, it depends on their developmental level.
