As a mom of two children with special needs, I have always appreciated companies that show a real commitment to families dealing with disabilities. One such company is Toys"R"Us, who publishes an annual Toy Guide for Differently-Abled Kids. It's a user-friendly resource (both printed and online) that provides customers with a carefully selected assortment of toys which help kids develop different skill sets through play (for example, fine motor skills or social skills). Each year, a celebrity spokesperson is featured at the guide--this year it is Eva Longoria, sister to a woman with special needs, who is photographed on the guide's cover alongside Elijah De La Cerda, a 5-year-old boy with Down Syndrome from Fresno, CA. I also appreciate the section on supporting the special needs community. For parents who deal with special needs on a daily basis, it's a gesture that goes a long way. The Toy Guide is a helpful resource/catalog for any parent, grandparent, or other adult who loves a child with special needs...check it out.
