•Some learning disabilities interfere with a child’s ability to play and acquire social skills. One does not usually think about having to teach children how to play, yet visual-spatial, language, and symbolic skills are needed to play with blocks, a doll house, trucks and cars in garages, and making sand castles. While we do not want to make work out of play, in order for children to play unsupervised or to participate in groups, adults may need to show them how to stack blocks so they do not fall, to pretend, to dig in the sand, and to play simple games. Throughout all of these activities, take time to enjoy the children and have fun. - ldaamerica.org : Help the child learn to play•
