Video games offer benefits to children with special needs.
For kids with learning disabilities, video games provide them the chance to practice their communication, organizational skills and social interaction.
Communication – Games that use visual storytelling and social modeling can help children with their speech, listening and communication skills.
Motor Skills – Games that encourage kids to get up and move around, such as dancing or sports games, will help them improve their muscle memory and put a name to an action.
Organization – For children that struggle with executive functioning skills – transitioning between activities, time management, completing a list of tasks, developing a new routine – playing games that emphasize visual scheduling or break down lists into more manageable tasks will help them to build up their confidence and provide them with the skills to accomplish more.
Reading and Writing – Kids who struggle with written rather than verbal instructions will benefit from games that offer both, and break down instructions into small steps. The confidence boost enables them to face more demanding challenges, expanding their vocabulary and reading and writing skillsets.
Social Interaction – Some special needs children require assistance in learning to identify facial expressions and the appropriate time to wait for responses during conversations. Video games can offer safe, supported chats that go a long way in helping to develop practical social skills.
Here at Game Vault we believe that ALL children should be able to experience the benefits and fun that comes with playing video games.
