Choosing toys
for a special needs child can be difficult. There are thousands
of choices but finding just the right match for a child with
varying abilities can be a challenge. Getting "beyond the box"
to understand the product features, ways it can be adapted,
unconventional ways to use the items, even knowing how many
pieces in box can be the key to unlocking the magic of play
for a child with a disability or special need.
Professionals serving children with special needs have their
expertise to guide them but oftentimes they lack the time
to search for the best products and toys. Many professionals
have told us that they want to find the best toys out there,
toys that are new to the market. This resource helps them
find those items without searching stores or web browsers.
AblePlayTM does all of the
work.
AblePlayTM breaks down information into disability categories-physical, sensory communicative and cognitive - in order to help parents and professionals get more customized information. The AblePlay RatingTM gives a snapshot of an evaluated toy. The comprehensive AblePlayTM Product Reviews give a great wealth of information about the product and its use for children with special needs.
Developed by the National
Lekotek Center, the leading nonprofit authority on play
for children with disabilities, AblePlayTM
will provide parents, and the professionals who work with
them, access to the most useful, product-specific information
about the top play and learning products and toys for children
with disabilities.
