Can anyone tell me where I can buy special needs toys for my Grandson who is 16 and has learning disabilities ? Thank you.

    Google special needs catalogues. I bought most of my equipment from The Magic Planet ((TFH).
    However, check out your local pound shops, I buy loads in there,especially tactile resources. My latest is a microfibre cleaning mitt. I use it like a hand puppet and it glows in my UV light.

    You can also search on ebay for items for special needs, can sometimes get things a bit cheaper

    too great websites to purchase from:

    http://www.sensorytoywarehouse.com/

    and
    www.fledglings.org who not only have toys but loads of other useful items, they have a brochure online.

    aslo ditto to ebay: tip: enter special needs, or autism or, autistic when searching for items

    My son is also 16 and has severe and profound learning disabilities, so I understand the problem!

    he loves anything with lights and music

    Special Needs Toys have got a good selection (including a sale section - who doesn't love a bargain?!)
