Sand help a child develop fine motor skills like those necessary to use a small shovel, pull a truck, and build a castle. By burying themselves in sand, and feeling their body position within the sand, children are using words to communicate their different body parts that they can feel or move under the sand.   Sand play also helps children develop more complex social skills like sharing, and communicating with piers. A child does not need large numbers of toys in a sandpit as their imagination will be endless. Sand play is particularly beneficial for developing a sense of textures. Not only is sand a new and different texture for children to feel on their skin, but the contrast it creates with concrete, grass, dirt, and wood will emphasize the sensation of each surface. Sand Play Safety Tips A sand box should always be cover it when it’s not in use to...

Autism and the Developing Sense of Self EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A small, exploratory British study of preschoolers with either autism or Down syndrome and typically developing toddlers looked at how each group of children acted toward their reflections in a mirror. They looked for trends, both group trends (i.e., how do autistic children differ from their non-autistic developmental peers, represented in different ways by the Down syndrome group and the younger typically developing group, whose chronological age matched the developmental ages found for both developmentally-disabled groups), and within-group trends relating mirror behavior to performance on a test of mirror self-recognition (i.e., do they know that the person in the mirror is their own reflection). They found that although the autistic children did not differ from the younger, typically developing children in the amount of time spent looking at their own faces, but that they did spend...

These types of gardens are popular with and beneficial to both children and adults, especially those who have sensory processing issues, including autism and other disabilities.
