Toys with intricate parts and designs and are full of action are good choices for older children with hearing challenges. Examples of action toys are remote cars and trucks. These toys encourage imagination and physical development. Dramatic play can offer all children a relaxed way of increasing their language skills as well as their cognitive skills. One good example is the Cooking Center.
Children can experience the art of cooking with the realistic boiling effect of the pans.
Another example is the switch activated jet that stimulates a child's imagination when it whirls around the room with its realistic sounds. Both of these toys encourage children to freely vocalize or talk when they activate the toys with a switch. Any switch activated toy of their choice will encourage participation within a group activity as well as develop independent play skills. This makes the handle bigger and the toy easier to use. Buy light weight toys that do not require much strength.
