Tips of the Day - Sports

• Avoid going to large sporting events that can be noisy with little warning; open-ended stadiums are quieter than closed stadiums or indoor arenas.
• Stadiums for minor league baseball games are a better choice for a child with sensory issues.
• To familiarize your child with sports, watch different sports on TV.
• Go to a local children’s soccer game; let your child watch from the bleachers or walk around the sidelines.
• Check with Special Olympics or Easter Seals about available local sporting opportunities for children with disabilities.
• Ask your local pool about private swimming lessons.
• Enroll your child in private skating lessons or teach him yourself if you are proficient.
• Take your child tubing at a local ski resort.
