The holiday season often brings stress to families in general and families of children with autism often see this stress double as parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles struggle to find gifts that would be meaningful and fun for the child with autism in their lives. But good finds are all around you if you know what to look for. “Find toys that help the child and their family to connect, communicate and work on skills that are known to be problems areas for children with autism,” says S. B. Linton, author of Lesson Ideas and Activities for Young Children with Autism and Related Special Needs, the new book that gives parents and teachers over 350 activities that encourage joint attention, play skills, fine motor skills and more.Linton recommends that for younger kids, one should look for toys that have a clear cause and effect component such as spinning tops or an electronic toys that speak when activated. The choice of gift will depend on the characteristics or personality of the child you have in mind. For the child that appears to be “climbing the walls,” try a trampoline, an indoor climber or a swing. Additionally, large therapy balls or exercise balls are fun for many kids and are now available in many retail stores. For the child who is into touching, feeling and exploring, buying sensory products that promote tactile sensation like a Koosh Ball™, clay, moon sand, Theraputty™, a water or sand table, or items from a sensory catalog like Integrations™ or Beyond Play™, may work for that child.
