Kid-tested, Parent-approved Toys for Kids of All Abilities

When you have a child with special needs, it’s not always easy to find toys and activities that are engaging, accessible and developmentally-appropriate. We’re excited to share these products and activities that were reviewed by experts in San Diego’s special needs community—local teachers, parents (with children of varying ages) and therapists (physical, ABA, occupational and speech therapists). We brought these people together to do the work for you and share their recommendations.

Whether you’re shopping for your own family or have a friend or relative with special needs, you’ll find products that encourage emotional intelligence, problem-solving, fine motor skills, stress relief, sensory engagement, creativity and more.
