Shopping for toys

Here at Life Span Occupational Therapy we encourage learning through play for all ages but especially younger children. . There are many great toys that can help facilitate this learning at home. With Christmas right around the corner, we wanted to send out some useful information about learning through play and how to choose toys that will best assist your child's learning at home. Attached are some articles from The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and some links to some of Jacqueline's favorite websites to find play therapy toys.

We hope this information is helpful for you and we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
