5 benefits special kids get by spending time outdoors

It offers a welcome change in surroundings

Children with more severe mobility issues may have very limited opportunities to go outside. Staying in the same place for hours or days at a stretch can be boring and emotionally taxing. By taking them out to nature, you’ll be giving them the change in surroundings they need to feel rejuvenated.

It is soothing and great for stress relief

Having a disability of any kind can be extremely stressful on the caregiving and for your child. It’s been scientifically proven how just looking at greenery can make us feel better. Taking a stroll outside on a warm spring day can be a much-needed restorative for your child.

It gives you the opportunity to expose your special needs child to more sensory stimuli

Growing children of any age need sensory stimulation to develop multiple cognitive and emotional skills. Taking your child outside for a walk can help you give them these important sensory stimuli, which they otherwise might be deprived of at home. For example, the feel of a tree bark, smell of newly opened flowers etc.

It allows you to engage your child intellectually  

Apart from sensory stimulation, spending time outdoors can be a great way to help older kids keep up with their studies and remain aware about what’s going on in the world. As you stroll with them by using a special needs mobility stroller, you can show them different sights and sounds and engage with them cognitively.
