Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Our (now age 10 - SMA III) has helped with cleaning out our vehicles. We " put " him in the van or care (air running) and give him a bag. He picks up all trash, then vaccums. He has also done lots of Windexing windows he can reach! Emptying garbage cans (paired with a sibling) is a good one. Sitting on the floor and cleaning his room! Hope these ideas help!

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Chores were never a problem for my mother to find for me. I dried dishes and dusted everything I could reach and my favorite chore was mowing the lawn. Mom tied the push mower to my electric wheelchair & I drove around the yard to cut the grass. A reporter from our local newspaper had to stop and take a picture because we lived on a busy hi way. Everyday I mowed I'd get at least 3 honks by people passing by!! FUN!! I don't think it would of been fair to my sibling's if I got out of chores. I also don't think that just because we are disabled it doesn't mean we should get out of housework!!!
