Engaging Activities with Disabilities
Cooking and Baking Classes
Cooking and baking classes not only teach valuable life skills but also offer a sensory-rich experience. Plus, it’s very rewarding to eat or share something you’ve made on your own!
Art and Craft Workshops
Arts and crafts are wonderful outlets to explore emotions and creativity. Consider painting, pottery, or crafting workshops that cater to different abilities and interests. These activities stimulate cognitive skills and provide a positive method for expression.
Community Gardening
Joining a community garden fosters social interaction and provides an opportunity to connect with nature. Spending time outdoors can provide great cognitive benefits as well.
Board Games and Puzzles
Board games and puzzles encourage critical thinking and socialization. Often, there are inclusive versions of popular games.
