Play Tip!
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 independantly activate any of the Switch Adapted Boom Boxes or Tape Decks and hear the story told to them in a familiar voice.

PLAY Tip
Bead Mazes perfect for children with Down Syndrome or Visual Impairments
Learning only happens when a child is interested enough to WANT to participate. Bead mazes teach a huge variety of skills. (cognitive, motor, perceptual, and language) but their true strength is the excellent play value kids find in these open-ended toys. This style is best for children with mild to moderate fine motor delays, and is especially suitable for low vision and blind children.
