Ann finds a voice in her computer!

Ann, 9, gains both literacy and a voice with the help of a computer in this beautiful tale of assistive communication. Is it an angel in her computer who makes this magic happen? Soft cover. By Sarah Yates.

N0121


Here's What I Mean To Say...

Play Tip!

I highly recommend this series in it's entirety to anyone who may find it necessary to explain cerebral palsy to children between the ages of 3 - 10, or who has a child with CP. The most distinctive feature about these three books (N0119, N0120, N0121) is the convincing portrayal of the interior life of a child who is non verbal. There is a lovely continuity of growth shown as well, as Ann goes from starting daycare at 4 to discovering augmentative communication software at 9. It is easy to see that a mother (who is also a gifted writer) wrote these.

Sort and Fit Board Teaches Fine Motor Control

Pegboards are basic toys for practically all kids. Fitting a peg into a matching space is a very satisfying feeling. This exceptional pegboard has more possible play activities then the average. The "double" peg system facilitates interesting colour and size matching games. The two kinds of pegs need different levels of fine motor skills, making this a toy that kids can grow with. Good for children with visual impairments and general developmental delays.
