After watching everyone's interesting inventions today I got to thinking how easy it would be to adpat just about anything so that a student would be able to use it independently. everyone had very cool ideas and most were very simple ideas. What I also thought was neat was that there were no duplications of ideas. I am sure ther was some duplication in our blogs but everything that was shown today was unique. It goes to show what a little imagination can do and how creative we can be. This made me start to think how else we can adapt toys for students without paying big bucks. It is amazing what a little velceo or a shower curtain ring can do to assist a student. A shower curtain ring can be attached to a toy so that a student might be able to hold on to it in a firmer grip. We all know that velcro is a wonderful tool. Attaching a little velcro to a toy and to a table can help keep it stabilized and within arms reach. Another simple idea is using a hoola hoop. IF a child has a remote control car it can be placed inside the hoop and that way it can't get away from the child and it is kept in contained space. The link below will give you an article that gives wonderful suggestions for adapting lots of different toys for any child. PLease take a second a read it, there are lots of fabulous ideas.
