Engineers at Brown University and designers at the Rhode Island School of Design have created Toys and Technology for Rehabilitation, a program for children with cerebral palsy at the Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence.
Brown and RISD students and their professors have developed more than a dozen toys and radio controllers that compensate for the lack of fine motor skills with controllers that strap to a child's wrist or forearm. The students hope the toys will strengthen limbs weakened by the disease.

I am an educational toy store and have been looking into finding toys to sell that are reasonably priced for children with various challenges. If you can provide me with any info I would be greatful. It seems as though all the developmental toys are so highly priced. I have a child of my own who has challenges and I know that with all the doctor bills it is difficult to have to spend so much on special toys. Thanks for helping if you can.
