Accessing activities - simply means can everyone access what you are providing? i.e.
if you have a child in a wheelchair can they access the sand pit?
If not how do you adapt this activity so they can access it?
You could place a sand tray on a table that their wheelchair can get up to comfortably or if they are unable to do that, perhaps you can adapt, and use a tray of sand that will fit on their wheelchair for them to enjoy that activity.
Whatever you are providing for children you need to include every child, including those that have different or additional needs.
If children who are mobile are using gymnastic rings, you may offer a child in a wheelchair hand held shorter ribbon rings.
When children are playing with a parachute and rolling a ball around it, if you have a child who is visually impaired you would simply adapt by using a ball with a bell it in.
Your adaptations do not have to be complicated, just small simple adaptations to allow all children to take part.
So whatever activities you have out, they want to know how would you allow every child to access an activity and how are you going to ensure or change/adapt it for everyone to use.
You are probably adapting for different ages already i.e. puzzles, chunky peg puzzles for younger or less able children and puzzles with smaller and many pieces for older and more capable children.
So you are already making sure all children are able to access the puzzle table and have adapted (by providing different sizes, pegs etc) for every child to use it.
