Training: Introduction
Current government legislation and polices require that children and young people with impairments are included in play groups and other socialising activities.
The benefits of this approach include :- Disabled Children develop to their own potential
- Other children grow up accepting Disabled Children in their life, helping to remove the stigma often associated with being disabled
