Play Tip!
Try using the Koosh Switch with children who are tactilly defensive, a condition often found in children with blindness, autism, PDD, FAS, and Down syndrome. By hooking a rewarding switch adapted toy up to the switch, children will be immidiately rewarded for touching the Koosh. A Switch Adapted Bubble Blower would be a real treat!

PLAY Tip
Occupational Therapy: Cut Up Fruits and Vegetables
A great toy for developing good fine motor skills in kids with mild special needs and visual impairments. Try slicing up a nice salad and then see if your child can match up the pieces again! Can your child hold the food with one hand and cut it up using the knife with the other? Many good creative games can be played with these. To add to the fun, add old pots, Tupperware, and kitchen tools.
