Hi again,
For my Ph.D. research, I'm trying to really single in on which activities, for children who use wheelchairs, are the most difficult to join in with, which are the most exclusive. I'm particularly interested in activities to do with free and spontaneous, exploratory play. Is it picking up objects they are interested in? Moving between different terrains? Being on different levels to other children? Or any others I may have not mentioned.
Thank you
Pete

Why don't you do a survey? That way you can gather more information.

Really anything where the other kids move about quickly and, as you say, change terrains or jump up steps or squeeze through a narrow space and so on.
