We always appreciate the incredible resources that are offered by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

This is one of the resources that is particularly useful around this time of year.

Also, for nearly two decades, ToysRus has published the annual Toys”R”Us Toy Guide for Differently-Abled Kids, an extensive but incredibly easy-to-use resource featuring specially selected toys that “encourage play for children with physical, cognitive or developmental disabilities.”

We invite you to check these 2 wonderful resources out and to share them with your community.
