Accessibility

When working with a child like Susie who has special needs, ensuring accessibility is crucial for her full participation in everyday activities. As a parent, therapist, or teacher, you can make simple changes to create a more inclusive environment for Susie. Here’s how it works:

1. Physical accessibility: If Susie faces challenges in holding a pencil due to a physical disability, provide her with adapted writing tools like pencil grips or special writing surfaces. These modifications will help Susie engage in activities such as writing and drawing with greater ease.
2. Cognitive accessibility: If Susie has difficulty understanding verbal instructions due to a cognitive impairment, use visual aids like pictures, videos, or written instructions. These tools will enhance her comprehension and support her in successfully completing tasks.
3. Environmental accessibility: Collaborate with Susie’s parents, teachers, and caregivers to ensure the environment is accessible. Consider installing wheelchair ramps or providing braille signage to help Susie navigate physical spaces comfortably.

By prioritizing accessibility, you empower Susie to actively participate in her surroundings, promoting the development of essential skills and nurturing her confidence for a lifetime. With Goally, an innovative tablet that offers digital visual schedules, AAC, and gamified learning, children like Susie can benefit from improved accessibility. It helps them build essential life and language skills, making daily activities more manageable and enjoyable.
