When writing the invitation ensure you make it clear if you have an expectation that parents should stay to assist their child. If you are unsure check with your child’s teacher or teacher’s aide for guidance. Hopefully you will have some idea of who your child likes at school but this isn’t always the case if children go to and from school by bus. It can be difficult to know who to invite if your child is non-verbal and cannot tell you who they would like at their party. Children often have a firm idea of what they would like but if your child does not express a particular desire take a look at their interests and see if you can work with those. When choosing a party the most important element is a theme that is right for your child and then finding a way to adapt it to suit his or her special needs. I love planning parties and enjoy seeing the kids having a great time so I hope some of our previous parties may give you some ideas for your next one. I am including some of my daughter’s (AJ) parties which can be adapted and may help with ideas for girls with special needs. I thought I’d share a few of these ideas. We have celebrated his birthday with a mixture of parties, special outings and as he has grown older, weekends away filled with activities he loves. Despite this I do feel anxious at times about how to deliver something that will work for BJ and his friends.īIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS FOR KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS As a parent of a son (BJ) with special needs I’ve always wanted my son to experience as many of the usual childhood pleasures as possible. Along with presents, at some point in a child’s life they usually enjoy the anticipation and excitement of a birthday party. Birthdays are something most children look forward to for months in advance.
