Toys For Disabilities

This is an issue which needs to be addressed in order to help the development of children with disabilities. Having recently visited a store with my 7 year old nephew, who has down syndrome, we were shocked to discover that there was not a single section designated to children whose needs differ from normal children. They require sensory toys, often with lights and sounds to aid their development but all that is available in store is similar toys designed for babies and small children not for older children who despite having a disability still need to work on skills such as counting, just through different means.
