Obstacle Course for children is great; it not only fun and adventure
but help build qualities like team work; leadership; adaptation; empathy
etc. This type of activity can address a
number of issues, and the facilitator team can incorporate specific goals into
the plan based on the objectives of the customer. The course can be altered to
suit children of different ability levels.
Sequencing and Attention
An obstacle course is a sequencing activity that requires
attention and memory. If a child has a learning plan goal of staying on task, an obstacle
course can serve as a useful tool because the child has to complete one part of
the course before moving on to the other. The activity has a beginning, middle
and end, which is an important feature for kids learning how to sequence.
Receptive Processing
Receptive processing involves the ability to understand, or
to process information. The skills are important for children learning how to
follow directions because they have to process the commands and demonstrate
understanding through their actions.
Adding receptive commands into the obstacle course is a
great way to test how well a child processes spoken directions. For example, if a child goes through two steps
in the course, spontaneously adding, "Show me arms up!" into the mix
can give insight into receptive processing skills.
Following Directions
Following directions, especially spoken requests, can be
very challenging for many kids on the spectrum. An obstacle course can be
designed to work with just one step directions, and continue to several steps,
depending on the child's age / past experience level.
