How to Choose the Right Toys for Children with Autism
About hand-eye coordination games
For the Bed Bugs game, a turn-on switch causes the bed to vibrate and the multi-colored bugs to jump. The object of the game is to catch as many bugs as you can, using the provided tongs.
Peg boards for autistic children can be found at National Autism Resources. (Just be sure the pegs won’t be a choking hazard for the child.)
Wikki Stix are advertised as being ‘a multi-sensory resource item’, so they should be first approved by the parents if you are a family or friend. The multi-colored sticks can be ‘molded’ into any desired shape. They are also handy useful as learning cues for the child.
Wikki Stix are available online or at Office Depot and Joann's Fabrics.
