With major changes for both parents and children alike, it\u2019s important to develop alternative measures inside the four walls of your home.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas children went to school daily for several hours, parents must now occupy a space that was once outsourced to educators throughout the school day. For special needs children, this transition will be quite challenging, but it\u2019s also difficult for parents as well.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, I want to alleviate this specific burden. In today\u2019s post, here are two activities, which you can do to occupy your child\u2019s time at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Puzzles are your friend<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whenever we discuss Autism spectrum disorder (<em>ASD<\/em>), we should recognize this important element: a child\u2019s increased ability to focus on a task.<\/p>\n<p>For children on the spectrum, prolonged concentration is not uncommon while interacting with an activity. At times in fact, children on the spectrum can experience hyper-focus.<\/p>\n<p>Enough so, it becomes quite challenging to take them away from an activity. What better way to focus one\u2019s attention than completing a puzzle set? When you have disassembled pieces scattered on the floor or table, the objective is to put them together as one cohesive image.<\/p>\n<p>For children on the spectrum, reassembling this set should occur at their individual pace. This way, your children will not experience external pressures from you. In other words, they\u2019ll have the ability to work at their own pace to complete the puzzle set.<\/p>\n<p>While assorting the pieces at their own pace, children will get to envision an end-result without external pressures. Although this may not seem obvious to you, it\u2019ll change the dynamic of completing this puzzle set for your child.<\/p>\n<p>If your children instead feels this external pressure, the experience will likely impede their ability to focus. Because of this inability to focus, this will likely lead to feelings of angst. As children fall deeper and deeper into this state, this once fun activity will be akin to the scariest feeling in the world.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, as a child completes one puzzle piece after the other, the experience will release feel-good chemicals in the brain. With each passing moment, your child will feel more compelled to complete the puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>After the completion of this puzzle, it\u2019s not uncommon for a child, on the spectrum, to take the set apart. Why though? Due to the previous positive experience, reassembling the puzzle will allow your child to complete the process all over again.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1675 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/otconcept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Coronavirus-Fun-Home-Activities-for-Children-With-Special-Needs-Post-Pic-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"241\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/otconcept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Coronavirus-Fun-Home-Activities-for-Children-With-Special-Needs-Post-Pic-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/otconcept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Coronavirus-Fun-Home-Activities-for-Children-With-Special-Needs-Post-Pic-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/otconcept.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Coronavirus-Fun-Home-Activities-for-Children-With-Special-Needs-Post-Pic.jpg 951w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As a side note, I am not suggesting that 100% of children with <em>ASD<\/em> will love puzzles. Instead, see it as just one additional method to build a bond with your child.<\/p>\n<p>Because problem-solving through puzzles will arrive in many forms, you don\u2019t have to rely solely on jigsaw puzzles. \u00a0For instance, you can try crossword puzzles, logic puzzles like Sudoku, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking made easy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the individual, we all tend to have a favorite meal. So, what does your child love to eat the most?<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s one recipe, which your child will eat again and again?<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your answer, it\u2019s time to enter the kitchen and cook together.<\/p>\n<p>Within the family, one of the best ways to build a strong bond arrives through cooking. From beginning to end, go through the entire process of preparing a meal together.<\/p>\n<p>If possible, make sure to choose a recipe where you\u2019re both participating equally, or you can even opt for a recipe where your child is doing most of the work. By applying either decision, you\u2019re less likely to choose a complex recipe. After all, the aim is to have your child participate versus standing back idly.<\/p>\n<p>As you arrive at the last step of your recipe, your child is bound to learn beneficial skills such as listening and even mathematics.<\/p>\n<p>Versus something complex as well as random, why is it important to opt for a simple and favorite recipe? Since the aim is to keep your child\u2019s attention, you want to offer a reason to remain actively involved.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, it\u2019s best to choose a dish, which your child enjoys. The more interested a child feels, this state is likely to lead to his or her active involvement in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the more complex the instructions, this is likely to lead to less participation, but it\u2019s also prone to erode your child\u2019s attention. If you can offer recipes with images, this will benefit your child if said child leans more in the direction of visual learning.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned before, please keep this as simple as possible, and that also includes how you communicate in the kitchen. In other words, it\u2019s not simply the recipe itself, which you should make simple.<\/p>\n<p>Separate from a simplified recipe, your child should easily understand how you direct him or her in the kitchen. Remember, the aim is build a bond, and you cannot do this if your child is uninterested, doesn\u2019t understand your directions, and isn\u2019t having any fun.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the entire process, make hygiene a priority. During this coronavirus epidemic, cooking is not the time to show improper procedures. On the contrary, this is precisely the place to show proper hygiene.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of correct hygiene, this includes habitually washing your hands when necessary, cleaning off utensils and countertops, etc.<\/p>\n<p>During this COVID-19 pandemic, families will face different degrees of challenges. For families with special needs children, the changes, occurring in the outside world, will cause additional hurdles at home.<\/p>\n<p>As an occupational therapist, I cannot make all of your burdens disappear, but I can do whatever is within my capabilities. Therefore, as you spend more time at home, my aim is to offer as much helpful information as possible.<\/p>\n<p>At <strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Occupational Therapy<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000080;\">Concept<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">,<\/span> You\u2019re Family.
