Children who suffer from visual impairments may not be able to fully participate in primary activities where it is necessary for the child to be able to see to participate. A teacher can make accommodations for the child to participate by describing the activity to the child or assigning the child a partner to help him.
A child with auditory impairments may have little or no hearing and may not be able to hear the material related to the activity. The teacher can help a child with this type of impairment participate by using visual clues such as writing the instructions on the board.
Since primary children are young, they are physically limited to the types of activities they can participate in as opposed to their older peers. When choosing activities for young children it is essential that they are physically able to participate in what is planned in order for them to get the most out of it.
Children who participate in primary activities may have a variety of other physical factors that prevent them from being able to participate to their fullest abilities. These factors include disabilities such as being wheelchair bound or having a disorder such as autism. Despite a child being limited by one of these physical factors, the teacher can make accommodations that will help the child participate to the best of her ability. If the teacher is having difficulty coming up with a way for the child to participate, she should enlist the help of someone who is experienced in dealing with physical limitations of children such as a physical education or exceptional student education teacher.
