Four Ways to Enhance Traveling Experience for Children with Lower Limb Impairment By Special needs at sea

ď ľ

Children love to travel because traveling implies visiting new places, discovering things, playing, trekking, cruising and a lot of fun, but can children with limited mobility and lower limb impairment enjoy in the same way?

ď ľ

Children with lower limb impairment are unable to walk and run, which means they have limited or no access to outdoor activities.

While traveling, particularly, their disability to move makes them feel sad and miserable since they also wish to visit places and enjoy the trip like their other family members. Although parents make different efforts to amuse their children with limited mobility, but following four ways are most entertaining as well as effective.

Books/Comics 

It is said, “A book is man’s best friend.” Same applies to women and children. Likewise, children suffering with lower limb impairment can be provided information-rich books, comics of their favorite characters, and some interesting fictional stories. While book reading will keep them busy, they won’t get bored and will be able to improve their vocabulary as well, but make sure to provide them scenic settings so that they enjoy the environment and surroundings as well.

However, you can’t expect children to read books throughout the day, can you? At the end of the day, they look for other amusing ways.

Puzzles & Board Games ď ľ

Puzzles, board games and blocks, on one hand, are effective in developing and improving spatial reasoning abilities of children and, on the other hand, serve as interesting and captivating activities. So, while you are traveling, keep some exciting board games and puzzles in your suitcases for your children with lower limb impairment, which will enable them to spend their time productively.

Gadgets & Video Games ď ľ

Undoubtedly, puzzles are a great way to entertain oneself, but children lose interest in them once they are solved. Before they begin to get bored, provide video games and other electronic gadgets like digital camera, iPod, PlayStation, etc.

ď ľ

However, although these gadgets and games are a good source of entertainment, children still wish to go out and explore new places.

Can you confine them to a room, lounge, balcony or terrace? Of course, no.

Electric Scooter ď ľ

Children with lower limb impairment can have a great traveling experience if they are provided electric scooters. The aforementioned things might limit their desire to explore outdoor settings, but electric scooter allows these children to move independently and cover long distances at ease. With electric scooters it gets easier and stress-free to visit places with children with limited mobility as parents are sure their children are comfortable and enjoying.

ď ľ

Children are sensitive, and children with lower limb impairment even more. Restrictions and helplessness could be depressing for them.

Thus, while you are traveling, make sure you do all these arrangements to give your children a memorable and fun-filled traveling experience.
