Every individual, regardless of age, should have the
ability, education, support and resources to function with dignity. It is
also my belief that this ability is a learning process for both the
teacher/therapist/parent and individual involved. This site strives to make
a difference in the lives of those individuals facing that challenge." |

Autism
Ally |
http://www.autism-ally.com/
As the
mother of a 12 year old boy with autism, I face the trials of caring for an
autistic child every day. From reversed deadbolts to expensive security
systems, I have spent years trying to make our home a safer place for Alex.
Sleepless nights, panicked searches, and feelings of guilt while calling the
police for help were my inspiration for developing the Autism Ally™
program. If you’re worried about what will happen when your son
figures out your latest locking system, or you know what it’s like to
retrieve your daughter from the street, see how Autism Ally™
products by Stanley® can help enhance your family’s quality of life.

Toy
Catalogue Listing for Children with Special Needs |
http://www.nas.com/downsyn/toy.html#23
Play is an important part of every child's development;
through play a child learns to control and interact with his or her physical
environment, to get along with others, and to develop self-esteem. Children
with disabilities sometimes need adapted toys in order to fully access the
wonderful world of play. To assist with these needs we have compiled a list
of toy resources and toy catalogs that either contain adapted toys or toys
whose designs transfer easily to the play needs of a child with special
needs. |
