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.

Hydrotherapy: Keeping Your Chin Up In The Water!
Try the Head Float with children with Cerebral Palsy or Hypotonia. The material of the Head Float is the same density as human skin, making the float comfortable and non-clammy. This is not a lifejacket but will comfortably keep your child's head above the water, increasing feelings of security and fun in the water. Try putting water wings on the ankles for an interesting change of position!
