Helping Kai Play
I started this blog because I want to help other parents play and care for their special needs children. My son, Kai, is now two years old and has been physically delayed in both fine and gross motor skills since birth. It has been a struggle for us to find products and toys for him. Kai has progressive hypotonia of unknown origin. This basically means that his muscle tone is very weak and is getting weaker for reasons unknown. I have bought many toys and assistive devices in trying to find things that he can use. I end up not being able to use about 90% of them because the buttons are too hard to push for him or the toy is to heavy, etc. I am hoping to use what I have learned to help other parents find toys that work for them. I also know it is a struggle to find products that work to help with transportation, eating at restaurants or bath time. I would love to hear from other parents about their experiences with certain products or what has worked well for them in general. I hope my blog is helpful to parents and everyone that knows of a developmentally delayed child. Thanks for reading!
