With the holidays approaching, I know the dread of many siblings of adults with special needs: what am I going to get my brother?!  For parents of children with special needs that question can be even more daunting because their children's development may be advanced in one area and delayed in a another which makes finding a toy that's both challenging enough to be engaging and easy enough to be enjoyed is tough.

Toys R Us is now distributing a guide developed specifically to address choosing the right toys for kids with special needs . 600,000 of the "Toy Guide for Differently Abled Kids" will be printed and available at Toys R Us.  Of the 85 toys listed inside, 79 can be obtained at stores other than Toys R Us.  The guide indicates for each toy, which developmental area it can stimulate.

You can even look at it online right now!
