All children with disabilities have someone to play with at break time.

Creating a buddy system can aid children with disabilities, they feel a sense of belonging as they engage in social interaction and increase participation in appropriate play. As play is in progress teachers should encourage the child to play with his/her buddy, provide praise, and pair up “lost” buddies. Through these interaction children will feel comfortable, accepted, supported as this will also aid in building their self-confidence.

Yes agreed, this idea is nice, having a 'buddy'. It would also boost their self-esteem. Lovely idea.
