Finding the Right Toy

I know this is late for the holidays but I spent some time over the holidays looking at toys and remembering how difficult it can be at times to find the right toy for a child with a disability. Thanks to the internet a lot of the searching can be eliminated. Here are a few excellent resources for finding just the right toy for a child with a disability.

This first document is a booklet created by the Alliance for Technology Access. It highlights the features of several commercially available toys.

Able Play is a toy rating system and website that provides comprehensive information on toys for children with special needs so parents, special educators, therapist and others can make the best choices for the children in their lives with disabilities. Check it out at their website:
