thanks again for your posts.
i'm more wanting thoughts on special needs equipiment than every day toys. i want to cater for all disabilities. what works?? what doesnt?? what enjoyment do your special needs children get from learning equipiment?? what gets a reaction from them??
i dont want you to thinks that i dont know my market, im just wanting real input from real people.
thanks again
I'm thinking that you could remove the phrase 'special needs' and ask the same questions - What enjoyment do children get from learning equipment, what gets a reaction - catering to all children does cater to all disabilities.
Building accessibility into a mainstream toy might be what we appreciate the most.
Check out the Universal Design articles, and Accessible Playgrounds and Play Spaces. The links listed after the narrative might lead you to a goldmine or two.
You might be successful in finding what you seek if you volunteer in a classroom with one child at a time. That seems to be the secret to designing for all children.
Good luck!
