Cerebral Palsy's Toy Lending Library
toys for children of all ages
 |
Here is Why:
A child with a disability may need modifications or adapted toys in
order to interact with the environment intellectually. Toys are
available for children with developmental delays, special needs or
physical disabilities. Play is a significant
key to positive development. Research has demonstrated that early
intervention using play techniques greatly influences a child's
learning capacity. Toys provide the tools for growth. |
Family Role:
The family holds a key in the child's play development. A visit
from our Toy Lending Specialist will provide modeling for parents by the
Specialist. They will share information and knowledge about the child
in order to provide the most appropriate play opportunities. The
Specialist will discuss your child's abilities, interests and likes to
assist in selecting the toys that will benefit your child the most.
How it works:
- Children with any disability or special needs are eligible.
There is no cost for this program.
- Our Toy Lending Specialist covers all nine counties served
by Cerebral Palsy of Mideast Wisconsin.
-
You decide when you feel your child is
finished with the toys. A call is placed to the specialist and
a time is set up for the toys to be picked up, also if you would
like new toys they can be dropped off. We ask that the toy be
returned clean and in good condition.
-
Donations to this program are always
appreciated. Cash to purchase new toys or gently used toys and
equipment are accepted any time. A receipt will be given for tax
purposes.
