ABSTRACT

Toys and Play for the Handicapped Child is written by a psychologist who ran the first professionally staffed Toy Library in the UK. Her experience enables her to write in practical detail about the role of toys and play, both in normal development and in the development of handicapped children. It will be found equally useful by parents, teachers and other professionals, and by those concerned to promote productive play in handicapped and non handicapped children.
