“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”
― Fred Rogers
If play is the work of childhood, then toys are the tools of the trade. All children learn through play, but play does not come naturally to all children. Sometimes the right toy can spark enough interest to start something new.
To help you find the right the right toy for your child with special needs Friendship Circle has launched a new e-book called Toys: A comprehensive guide to finding the right toy for your child with special needs.
The purpose of this e-book is to narrow down the field of infinite toys to those which successfully target special interests and emerging skills. Here you’ll find tried-and-true toys and activities recommended by experienced therapists and parents – yes, even toys for children who refuse to play with toys, or children who prefer to spend hours each day watching objects spin.
