Providing health-related activities that do not interfere with academic subjects is vital for school-age children with disabilities to develop social skills. These activities create an inclusive environment where children can engage with their peers in a structured setting that promotes interaction, teamwork, and communication. By focusing on health-related activities outside of core academic subjects, such as physical education or organized recreational programs, children can participate without the stress of academic performance. This environment helps to reduce anxiety and fosters friendships, understanding, and empathy among all students, regardless of their abilities.

Additionally, these activities often involve collaborative or partner tasks that require communication and teamwork, which are essential components for social skill development. Such programs can enhance a child's self-esteem and help them learn to navigate social situations, thus reducing fear and systematic prejudices they may face in other contexts.
