Toys are teaching tools for
all children, and especially
for kids with autism. Our
kids learn through play, but
often need to be taught to
play. Toys are especially
critical in early intervention
programs where the right toys
can make all the difference.
Parents use toys to build
relationships. Behavioral
therapists use toys to teach
cause and effect, pretend play
and other skills. Speech
therapists use toys to evoke
communication, learn sequences
and build relationships.
Occupational therapists use
them to develop fine motor,
gross motor or social skills.
For kids, some toys are just
plain fun!
