Change4Life Activities

There are lots of ways to keep disabled children and young people active – start off by choosing activities your child is interested in and adapt them.

For kids to lead a healthy lifestyle they need to move as much as possible. Being active for at least 60 minutes each day helps keep their hearts healthy and their bones strong – and if they have additional needs, this is just as important.

Many of the activities suggested for non-disabled children, including Shake Up games can be modified and enjoyed by disabled children. For some children it may be an easy adaption to the games like using larger or softer balls, making the distances or playing times shorter.
