Fact: Kids like toys. Another fact: Kids outgrow toys and they can be re-purposed. Fact #3: Some kids have physical limitations that prevent them from playing with some toys. Final fact: There are clever people out there who can help!
Thanks to connections made by Horace Mann Speech Teacher Mrs. Ellen McCafferty, our students received a generous donation of adapted toys this week. As you can see in the pictures, the toys have been adapted with switches, allowing accessibility for students with impaired motor skills. Mrs. McCafferty has begun putting these toys in the hands of students, and they are a big hit!
We are grateful to RePlay for Kids for sending us these resources. If you are interested in learning more about RePlay for Kids, here is the link to their website: http://www.replayforkids.org/
