Books And Basic Toys...
Stories with repetition and/or rhyme help in the development of speech skills. Good book examples you can consider include “Dr. Seuss” and “Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes”.
Picture books - Picture books such as “I Spy” are great ways to engage your child’s imagination. “I Spy” has a collection of picture riddle books based on different themes.
Kids who are drawn to building and organizing may like models or building block sets. Children who find touch or pressure soothing may love a stuffed animal or soft baby doll to hug. Very active children may appreciate outdoor toys to expend some energy with physical exercise or those that are a bit more subdued may find books or science kits more enjoyable. So long as some thought is given to individual interests, chances are the toys you choose will be a hit. | Any toy for an autistic child that can be stacked helps them improve their motor skills. Great toys to consider include “Lego”, alphabet and building blocks, colored shapes, etc. Toys that involve sorting and grouping together matching numbers, colors, shapes, etc. help improve cognitive skills. One interesting toy for autistic child is “Match & Spell 3 – Letter Word”.
