people the opportunity to explore new surroundings and use critical thinking skills

when looking for items. They are easily adaptable depending on the participants and

are a fun way to discover new things. They also boost observation skills and help

develop early learning skills in a fun, relaxed, and natural way.

● For this activity you are going to look around your surroundings and try to find

various color items.

the rainbow. So you will find 1 red item, 1 orange item, 1 yellow item, 1 green

item, 1 blue item, and 1 purple item.

them and how they represent the specific color.

each of the four (4) uploaded activities:

● A cervical spine injury often involves permanent complete or partial loss of sensory

function, and many associated complications. Injuries of the spinal cord that are

located higher on the spine will be more severe. This type of injury is the most

severe, and can result in paralysis of all limbs, requires assistance with most

daily tasks, and inability to control bladder/bowel movements. For this activity the

participant can be pushed around in his wheelchair and instead of physically

finding the items he could name me something in the room that he sees is red,

then orange, etc.
