Play is a very important and critical milestone within children especially at a young age in a lot of different ways. It's important for their overall well-being and includes their preparation to enter school with kids with and without disabilities along with accommodations for the kids that need it. Play can be defined as “ A state of of being, in which an individual experiences increased energy focusing on any activity, cheerfulness and joy which is accompanied by smiles and laughter and feeling an ease of burden lifted.” (Children's Play Information Service 2002). It is normal and expected that young children should be playful. Kids with Disabilities already are at a distinct disadvantage. Mobility, visual impairments and cognitive disabilities can make it hard to play tag, hide and seek, or any memory or brain stimulating games.
