Toys and Books : Making the right choice
As a parent of a special needs child, you will know how important, yet often difficult, it is to find the right toy or book that appeals to your child and also helps their development in some way.
We have a great selection of toys click here and books click here which will help stimulate your child and, just as essentially, are also fun! All these are available for loan.
Song Packs : Language through singing
All children love singing or hearing nursery rhymes. At the IWTLOG weekly session, we always end with songs and makaton(ish !) signs. We have recently acquired some lovely finger puppets and other props to allow the children to take part and they thoroughly enjoy this.
To help your singing sessions at home, we have made some pictures for you to take home. These will help your child to choose the song he or she would like to sing and the sticky backed velcro pieces on certain songs will make them more interactive for them eg 10 fat sausages! Click here
