Kids' Quest: Mobility (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

Children who have limited movement might use a wheelchair, walker, or other assistive device. Children who use assistive devices may find it hard to participate in some activities due to physical and other types of barriers. These barriers can make children who use assistive devices feel isolated from other children, but this doesn’t have to be the case! Changes to the environment, such as ramps or elevators, or adapted equipment can help children with mobility limitations participate more fully in sports and other activities. Let’s learn more about ways to promote inclusion. Follow the 8 steps in this Web Quest to learn more about kids with physical disabilities.
