  Planning and resourcing
Movement and Space
 
  • Provide young children who have physical disabilities with equipment that is easily accessed and resources that meet their individual needs.
  • Tell stories that encourage children to think about the way they move.
  • Provide different arrangements of toys and soft play materials to encourage crawling, tumbling, rolling and climbing.
Health and Bodily Awareness
 
  • Offer choices for children in terms of potties, trainer seats or steps.
  • Establish routines that enable children to look after themselves, for example, putting their clothes and aprons on hooks or washing themselves.
  • Create time to discuss options so that young children have choices between healthy options, such as whether they will drink water, juice or milk.
Using Equipment and Materials
 
  • Provide materials that enable children to help with chores such as sweeping, pouring, digging or feeding pets.
  • Provide sticks, rollers and moulds for young children to use in dough, clay or sand.
