Toy Tips, Inc. and Project P.L.A.Y partnered to offer shopping tips for special needs children. Oftentimes, simple changes in playing with the toy make it suitable for children with special needs.
Board games are a good gift selection.
They give children a change to practice turn taking, communication and socialization skills. They are also great for the whole family to play together. By modifying the rules of the game, such as taking off time limits, enlarging pieces or having partners, you can make the game less frustrating for a child with a shorter attention span or motor difficulties. Communication skills can be expanded through play. For children with language delays, repetition is a plus.
