Print this page Toy Features for Kids with Communicative Disabilities

These toy features work well for children with communicative disabilities:

  • Amplification features in a toy help and motivates a child to be heard.
  • Phonetic components in a toy encourage the development of spoken words.
  • Verbal talk back response allows children to develop language reception skills, e.g. electronic toys that give time to respond to and/or change response.
  • Words included in toys (e.g. books, puzzles, games, etc) help a child build communications skills by labeling action or objects in play.
  • Communication features in a toy (e.g. phones, walkie talkies) facilitate communication with others.
