Play Tip!
Ricki the Rooster is one of the most popular switch adapted toys. His Bright colours make him easier for a child with a cortical visual impairment to see. To help even more try putting Rikki down on a dark carpet, towel, or tablecloth. The contrast makes his colours really pop out!

PLAY Tip
Grasping and Writing
Grippers are helpful for children with developmental delays. Grippers serve two purposes. They position the fingers properly around a larger diameter then a regular pencil, and they keep a dropped pen from rolling away. Position them low on the pen/pencil to give the child better control.
