Play, learning & development

The play and leisure section includes various games, toys and equipment for children and young people with disabilities.

Help and advice
Toys for play, learning and development are unlikely to be provided by either the health service or social services. A paediatric occupational therapist should however, be able to advise on suitable toys and activities to develop the cognitive, fine and gross motor and visual skills of your child. They may also know of local toy libraries or parent support groups that lend toys to try out with your child before purchase.
