Students with special needs tend to shy away from traditional learning methods, especially in remote learning environments. Due to the rigid structure and isolation these learning methods impose, students with intellectual and developmental disabilities have a difficult time absorbing, retaining, and benefiting from a standard curriculum.
Play-based learning, however, creates a structure where learning (even in a remote environment) is more natural for students with disabilities. “Play allows all students, no matter their needs, to learn,” explains Karyn Lisowski. “Students discover skills at their own pace and they choose which activities interest them.”
