Here's What I Mean To Say...

Play Tip!

I highly recommend this series in it's entirety to anyone who may find it necessary to explain cerebral palsy to children between the ages of 3 - 10, or who has a child with CP. The most distinctive feature about these three books (N0119, N0120, N0121) is the convincing portrayal of the interior life of a child who is non verbal. There is a lovely continuity of growth shown as well, as Ann goes from starting daycare at 4 to discovering augmentative communication software at 9. It is easy to see that a mother (who is also a gifted writer) wrote these.

Occupational Therapy: Peekaboo Farm House Small Knob Puzzle

This sized puzzle is best for children with mild cognitive and/or fine motor skill delays. Small knobs make removing, manipulating, and placing puzzle pieces much easier to manage. These small knobs require an early two finger pincer grasp to use. It's a good idea to work on taking puzzle pieces out before attempting to place them. The "peek-a-boo" pictures make it more fun to remove pieces. Try guessing what will be found behind the different doors.
