Abstract

Educators can consistently support the active engagement and learning of children with and without special needs in inclusive environments. Definitions and theories of play are examined and the benefits of play described. Experts agree that play is fundamental to children's healthy physical, social and emotional learning, cognitive and language development, and creativity and problem solving. Examples of instructional strategies to facilitate free and guided play illustrate a variety of roles enacted by educators. The importance for children with special needs to be afforded opportunities for indoor and outdoor play experiences is highlighted. The chapter concludes with recommendations for future research, policies, and a call to action for advocacy.
