Educating in creativity is training people with future vision, initiative, confidence, ready to face any obstacle in daily life. As is well known, children are natural innovators with powerful imaginations. And creativity offers a host of intellectual, emotional, and even health benefits.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Un estudio<\/a> encontr\u00f3 que la imaginaci\u00f3n de los ni\u00f1os les ayud\u00f3 a sobrellevar mejor el dolor. La creatividad tambi\u00e9n ayuda a los ni\u00f1os a tener m\u00e1s confianza, desarrollar habilidades sociales y aprender mejor. Pero \u00bfqu\u00e9 ocurre en estos ni\u00f1os cuando \u00e1reas tan importantes para la creatividad como el juego simb\u00f3lico, la teor\u00eda de la mente o el lenguaje se ven tan afectadas? A continuaci\u00f3n les compartimos algunas recomendaciones para potenciar la creatividad de los ni\u00f1os que padecen autismo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Socio-motor games<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

For this type of activities you will not need any accessories. They consist of encouraging anticipation and repetition with games such as \"Tag\" or \"Duck, Duck, Goose!\" They can be modified to simple games such as spinning, bunny hopping, etc.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Imitation games<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

They can be movements such as clapping, strong footsteps, vocal sounds, objects, etc. Imitation games can be a great way to include yourself in your child's interests.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Functional games<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kitchen spatulas, toy tools, miniature food, doll clothes, cars, trains are functional play with objects. Depending on the level of autism, your child will use few materials. My advice is that it can be helpful to make game scripts that represent a particular story. Language in this type of game is very important. You have to adapt it and speak in a simple way. Keep in mind that you can add keywords or vocabulary to help language development.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Cause and effect game<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

An example of this would be toys where pressing a button produces a sound or appears a light. You can also use games where you have to put pieces together. This type of game allows us to work on frustration levels.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Visuospatial games<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Puzzle games and Legos are some of the types of games that fall into this category. You will need to show your child where the pieces fit together. Advice: Always reinforce them. It doesn't matter if they don't do it well or badly. The important thing is that they try. Say, \u201cOkay,\u201d \u201cOkay, let's try again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Sensory and creative games for children with autism<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

These games are made with materials that cause pleasant sessions (sand, plasticine, watercolors, finger paints, papers with different textures, etc.). These types of games are very popular among children with autism, they love them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Storytelling<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

To plan the activity, you need to know if your child likes books, their comprehension skills, their interests, and the type of pictures that make sense to them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
