Week 14

http://letsplay.buffalo.edu/toys/special-toys.htm

This website was extremely informative on how to help students and children who need assistance with play. Often we only talk about AT in terms of how to help students in the classroom and not on how to help them enjoy life. When I worked at a preschool the summer after my freshman year of undergrad we focused on helping those students learn how to play and help them play. It was a great experience to see how to help students who are autistic learn how to play. For many of them they did not develop as other children did and would not play on their own. I also thought that the website would be really helpful to parents. For many parents who have children with disabilities they may not know where to turn and this website provides great information. I especially thought the Lekotek's Top Ten Tips would be helpful to a parent because it is broken down by disability with questions for them to think about.
