Choosing Toys
- Choose toys that have a multisensory appeal.
- Consider how easy or hard it will be for the child to use the toy,
depending on the child's physical abilities.
- Choose toys that are easy to activate, yet provide some level of a
challenge. Toys that encourage interaction by providing immediate feedback
are a good choice.
- Consider the sensory challenges of the child. Toys can offer many different
levels of sensory experiences.
- Consider the safety and durability of the toy.
