Floor Basketball Game: Perfect for Circle Time!
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
The Floor Basketball Game can be used by children in wheelchairs, standers, or custom seating solutions. Social skills and gross motor skills are developed with the floor basketball game. Portable and accessible from all sides, it is great for circle activity time. Try using balls of different weights or sizes to vary the difficulty level. Balls with different tactile surfaces provide variety. Place the hope next to a wall to provide a back board for advanced shots.

Language Comprehension with Switch Adapted Boom Boxes
To encourage language comprehension in children with special needs, try recording simple stories on tape and then let the child use his or her switch to independently activate any of the Switch Adapted Boom Boxes or Tape Decks and hear the story told to them in a familiar voice. Vary the stories with lots of music too!
