- Encourage the child to take part in exercise wherever possible, especially swimming.
- Consider using lighter equipment for games etc.
- Let the child choose whether or not to have adult help to perform a task.
- Encourage him/her to make his/her own decisions, e.g. “Let me know if you need your coat and if you want help putting it on.”
- Although the child may need the help of a classroom assistant encourage him/her to let the child have independence as much as possible. e.g. at breaktimes let him/her be with his/her friends without the classroom assistant intruding.
