Parents can spend quality time with children with disabilities by engaging in various types of activities.

Activities are a fun way of learning new skills and helping the children become independent.

Here are some simple and fun activities that can be done by children with disabilities.

  1. Create a texture book– this can be done by pasting fabrics and materials with different textures on a scrap book or a simple notebook pages. Sand paper, bubble wrap, foam wash cloth, can be used as different textures.
