Seema Flower, the Founder and Managing Director of BlindAmbition.co.uk has emerged as a trustworthy source of inspiration for individuals with disabilities, embodying the spirit of resilience and determination. Despite facing the challenges of Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a rare genetic disease that has left her with only 2% vision and registered blind, Seema has displayed unwavering strength and a remarkable drive.
Through her consultancy, Blind Ambition, Seema has significantly contributed to educating organisations about disabilities, providing crucial support to individuals with sight loss, and offering specialised expertise in private and educational sectors.
Seema Flower shares a few inclusive Easter egg hunt ideas to ensure that children of all abilities can join in on the fun:
- Auditory Easter eggs: Incorporate beeping Easter eggs that emit sound to help blind and visually impaired children locate them. The beeping sound can guide them towards the hidden treasures and enable them to participate fully.
- Light-up eggs: Utilise light-up Easter eggs, especially in a dark room, to provide visual input for children with low vision. The glowing eggs will enhance their ability to spot and retrieve them during the hunt.
- Balloon-assisted eggs: Attach a balloon to each Easter egg placed on the ground, allowing children who use wheelchairs to participate more actively. They can manoeuvre their chairs around and use their arms to reach for the string attached to the balloon, making it easier to collect the eggs.
- Sensory-themed eggs: Hide eggs in various textures and materials to create a sensory experience during the hunt. This idea is particularly suitable for children who enjoy exploring different tactile sensations. Consider using eggs hidden in soft fabrics, rough surfaces, or even squishy materials.
By incorporating these inclusive Easter egg hunt ideas, we can ensure that children of all abilities have an enjoyable and accessible experience during this festive occasion. Let’s create an inclusive environment where everyone can celebrate and participate together.
A small gesture to a friend or family will a child with additional needs around this time of year will go a long way.
