Play schemes usually consist of a large group of children of a similar age, disability range or who are under the same circumstances, for example, those whose parents have recently divorced.
It offers a wide range of daily activities for the children, as well as an outside play area and a quiet area if the children just wish to relax. Special events are arranged throughout the scheme and some may organise trips and outings. Many children with disabilities attend play schemes, as inclusion and social interaction with children.
