Over 6.2 million children live with disabilities, accounting for 13.2 percent of the child population. Millions of parents, grandparents, other family members and caregivers of children with special needs struggle to find the best play and educational products for them.
Every day, parents ask professionals for advice on buying toys for their children. Often, shoppers are wary of buying toys for special needs children. However, selecting a toy for any child begins with two steps: first, learning what the child is interested in, and second, assessing his or her skill level. Let’s Play: A Guide to Toys for Children with Special Needs is a helpful educational tool designed to assist with this selection process. After reviewing this guide and doing your homework, we encourage you to visit toy shelves (both online and at your local retailer) and sample the great products designed to excite, engage and enthrall your child. Experience with them the joy and happiness of play!
With support from the Toy Industry Association, Inc.™ and its members, the Toy Industry Foundation™, in partnership with Alliance for Technology Access (ATA) and American Foundation for the Blind (AFB), has researched and tested hundreds of toys in an effort to offer you a comprehensive guide to the best toys for children of all ages with all types of special needs and interests. Toys included in this guide were tested by over 100 “toy experts”—children with a variety of special needs. ATA and AFB selected the featured products based on the toy’s play value for children with special needs. Whether shopping for a three-year-old, visually impaired child or a ten-year-old with developmental disabilities, Let’s Play is an excellent resource for finding the perfect toy.
