Discovery Toys for Children with Autism

Courtesy Discovery Toys

Together with the Princeton Child Development Institute, Discovery Toys created a list of products appropriate for children with autism. Their list of toys includes toys to develop independent play with some limited instruction; toys that create opportunities for children to talk about their play experience; toys that promote sustained engagement; toys with obvious completion criteria; toys that build skills for cooperative play; and toys that encourage pretend play. All of these are issues that parents of children with autism need to address, so it's likely that a toy in this list will be very welcome indeed.
