While
selecting the right toy for any child can be challenging, parents,
caregivers and friends sometimes need extra help choosing toys for
children with disabilities.
American Toy Institute (ATI) has teamed up with
the National Lekotek Center - a nationwide non-profit organization -
to help make play more accessible for these special children. In
partnership with ATI, Lekotek provides the Lekotek Toy Resource
Helpline, a toll-free service (1-800-366-PLAY), staffed by
play experts who can recommend appropriate toys and activities for
children and families.
In addition, ATI works with the American
Foundation for the Blind to produce the Guide to Toys for Children
Who are Blind or Visually Impaired. |
