Play Tip!
To encourage language comprehension in children with special needs, try recording simple stories on tape and then let the child use his or her switch to independantly activate any of the Switch Adapted Boom Boxes or Tape Decks and hear the story told to them in a familiar voice. Vary the stories with lots of music too!

PLAY Tip
Sensory Stimulation For Children With Serious Fine Motor Delays
All children want to explore how the world works. For a child who is physically confined by a disability there are fewer opportunities to explore the properties of different objects. An accessible busy box is a wonderful chance to let children exercise their curiosity in a non-frustrating and available way.
