[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get her whatever you would get any other toddler. Not every toy needs to be a therapy opportunity. [/quote]

Please just think of her as a kid. [/quote]

Plus a million.  This is a toddler.  Get her whatever toy is appropriate for her age group.  The fact that you put her delay before her interests and personality is well-meaning but hard to take for special needs families.[/quote]
I have a speech-delayed child and we have been told by the therapists not to strictly not give her any toy that makes sounds, flashing lights and absolutely no screens if any kind. If we received a gift like this it would go straight into the donation pile. Of course people can gift what they like but if it’s not appropriate it won’t be used.[/quote]

That's bizarre.  The point is to get stuff that engages the child.  I have a child with a language disorder and many years of therapy and never hear that.  And, if anything screens helped in many ways.  Let me guess, you have a 2 year old.[/quote]

I have a child with a disability, and I agree that those toys that make noise and screens were key to his learning.

Leapster toys were great. It's sad, but SLPs really don't understand language issues very well.[/quote]
