Adapted toys
Adapted toys are specifically designed toys that have been modified to meet the needs of children with special needs and disabilities. These modifications may include changes to the size, shape, or usability of the toy to make it more accessible for the child. Adapted toys are of significant importance for children with physical, sensory, or cognitive impairments. They allow them to participate in games and activities that are accessible to other children, promoting their inclusion in society. Adapted toys can be purchased from specialized providers such as therapy centers or medical supply stores. Parents can receive comprehensive advice and choose the appropriate toys for their child there. Overall, adapted toys contribute to improving the quality of life for children with special needs and promoting their participation in life.
Adapted toys can be operated using switches, such as the BIG Red Twist. This allows children with limited mobility to play and learn cause and effect. These aids come in various forms, including light-up toys, stuffed animals, and cars. Some toys move, make sounds, or glow in the dark.
