Summer fun should be for everyone. But if your child is blind, nonverbal, or multiply disabled, finding the right activities can take a little extra creativity.
That’s why we created a huge list of 36 fun, accessible summer ideas organized into 6 smart categories so you can find what works best for your child’s interests, abilities, and sensory needs.
Here’s a preview of what you’ll find:
🍃 Getting Outside: Water play in the backyard or a sensory nature walk can be simple, affordable, and packed with joyful discovery.
🏪 In the Community: Visit a farmer’s market, splash pad, or music-in-the-park event. These outings offer new sounds, smells, and tastes to explore together.
☀️ Indoor Fun for Hot Days: When it’s too warm outside, bring the fun indoors with sensory bins, cool fans, or frozen toys. Even kitchen items can become exploration tools!
🎨 Messy & Textured Play: Messy play can be the perfect outlet for sensory-seeking kids. Try shaving cream, pudding painting, or bins of cooked pasta.
🎶 Fun with Music: Try homemade drums or rain sticks, and explore rhythm games or silly songs. Music brings joy and connection for kids of all abilities.
🧩 Some Quieter Games: For calming moments, try tactile matching, sound guessing, or scent jars. These gentle games are soothing and engaging.
