When your child has special needs, you want to do everything you can to help him learn and grow. The good news is, learning time can be play time, too. Whether your child is physically or learning disabled, or you would just like to work on his development, these toys can help build a solid foundation to help improve his limitations and build on his strengths. Plus, they're a blast to play with! Also, check out The 25 Best Sensory Toys for Kids with Special Needs and The Best Montessori Toys for more ideas.
