Abstract

COLUMN COORDINATOR: DOREEN KRONICK TACKY TRASH CREATES TEACHING TOYS Ty Malloy As a parent or teacher, you can help a perceptually handicapped child-and cheaply, too! Special toys and learning games for your child to use at home or in the classroom will encourage and reinforce perceptual abilities; however, they can be expensive, outgrown, or ignored by a child finding them too difficult. There are solutions. Scour garage sales and flea markets to find learning toys and games at more reasonable prices. Before buying any item, check for damage or missing parts. If you belong to a parents’ organization sponsored by your school district or among other interested parents, suggest a learn- ing toy and game “lending library” be established within your group. Use donated used toys and new items acquired through Doreen Kronick, 306 Warren Road, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5P 2M8, cofounder of the Canadian Association for Children with Learning Disabili- ties, is a lecturer in the faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto, and in charge of counseling parents of the learning disabled at Wellesley Hospital.
