This book examines the development of play skills and schemas to
support children with learning differences and physical disabilities
in learning to play. It highlights the need for appropriate playground
equipment in all school settings that educate children with physical
disabilities and sensory needs to ensure equal opportunities for
outdoor play. Several play approaches for meeting sensory needs are
discussed including Lego therapy, Art therapy, Sand play and Soft
play. Digital play for students with physical disabilities is an
important chapter in the book. Role play and the ways in which virtual
reality and psychodrama support anxieties that some students have is
another important chapter. There is also a chapter devoted to parents
on how they can support their child at home and how the school can
support them. At the end of the book there is a plethora of resources
that readers can copy or adapt to suit their setting. The book
provides support for those managing outdoor play for these children at
peak times of the day. It shows how play-based learning can work in a
classroom setting; the importance of sensory profiles and sensory
play; and how play therapy can aid neuroplasticity.
