Play Tip!
Good toys that give strong tactile feedback for children with low vision, blindness, or sensory integration problems (ie. Autism or PDD) are crucial so that they can explore concepts through their hands, a necessary skill to learn. This Sensory Touch Board invites children to explore matching textures. I also recommend this board for children who have general developmental delays because presenting the tactile and visual clues together makes matching easier to learn.

Speech Language Therapy: Beginning Assentive Communication Tip
Here is a tip for children with Cerebral Palsy and other conditions that can affect speech. Try placing two pictures of the two toys that are attached to the switch tops. By pairing the real object with the two dimensional picture, you help your child learn that flat pictures are symbols of the real thing. This is fun way to master an important first step towards using assentive communication and computers.
