Identify at least three ways you would adapt a dramatic play center to ensure that children with special needs could be included
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: 1. Apply only those rules that are really needed for the child to play safely.
2. Let the child take the lead. This may involve some patient waiting for the child to choose something to do.
3. To encourage the child to play with others, define the space where the children can play, and keep it small at first.
4. If a child wants to play with another child or a group of children but does not know how to join in, encourage her to gradually become involved, and then slowly lessen your own involvement.
5. Encourage verbalization during play by asking questions and encouraging communication with other children.
6. Offer dramatic play materials that are familiar and part of a child’s daily life
experiences.
7. Set up the dramatic play area in a variety of different ways. If children want to
play through medical experiences, set it up as a doctor’s or dentist’s office.
8. Use puppets as a way for children to talk indirectly about experiences.
9. Provide some dress-up clothes that are simple to put on or take off.
10. Sharing ideas with peers helps children with developmental delays to see how things work and how they are to be done.
11. Provide a lot of props. Be sure that at least some of them give obvious cues
(tactile as well as visual) about the activity going on.
12. Some children with developmental delays fatigue very easily. Make sure that the child has supportive seating. Some children need chair inserts or standing aids.
