Things to Do in the Spring for Your Clients with Intellectual Disabilities (Even on Rainy Days)

Spring is a time of renewal and growth, and it's the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. However, even on rainy days, there are plenty of fun and engaging activities that your clients with intellectual disabilities can enjoy.

Here are some ideas:

  • Go for a walk or hike in the park. Even if it's raining, you can still enjoy a walk in the park. Just be sure to wear appropriate clothing and footwear.

  • Visit a local farm. Many farms offer tours and activities for families, including hayrides, petting zoos, and farm-to-table meals.

  • Go bird watching. Spring is a great time to see migrating birds. Bring a pair of binoculars and see how many different birds you can spot.

  • Plant a garden. Gardening is a great way to get some exercise and learn about nature. You can plant flowers, vegetables, or herbs.

  • Have a picnic. Even if it's raining, you can still have a picnic indoors. Spread out a blanket on the floor and enjoy some snacks and drinks.

  • Go to the beach. The beach is a great place to relax and enjoy the fresh air. You can build sandcastles, swim in the ocean, or just take a walk on the beach.

  • Visit a museum or zoo. Museums and zoos are great places to learn about different cultures and animals.

  • Go to a concert or play. There are often free or low-cost concerts and plays available in the spring.

  • Take a cooking class. Cooking is a great way to learn new skills and spend time with friends and family.

  • Volunteer your time to a local charity. Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community and make a difference.


Here are some additional ideas for rainy days:

  • Visit a children's museum. Children's museums are a great place for kids of all ages to learn and have fun.

  • Go bowling. Bowling is a fun and active activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

  • Have a game night. Play board games, card games, or video games.

  • Make crafts. There are many different crafts that you can make, such as painting, drawing, and building.

  • Watch a movie. Curl up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and watch a movie.

No matter what you choose to do, make sure to have fun and enjoy the spring weather!
