Inclusive Learning Connections
Consultant
- Learn how your child approaches new things. Does your child love new experiences and participate right away? Or does he/she need to watch and listen first and is more careful with new experiences?
- Recognize your child’s learning style. Is your child more hands on or do they learn best by looking and listening?
- How does your child react to change? Be prepared and help them prepare for changes. Is your child flexible or do they become upset with change?
- A child’s activity level can affect their preferences. Does your child prefer quiet activities or more active settings?
- Celebrate your child when they advocate and share their needs and what works best for them. We are all different and learn differently, no two brains are the same!
OT
- Has your little one established a dominant hand?
- Do lots of 2 handed activities: have them help in the kitchen to open open containers (Ziploc bags, containers or jars), help with washing dishes or mixing. In the bathroom have them open the toothpaste tube and play scoop and pouring games in the tub. Play puzzles and games or colour on tummies on the floor.
