Between March 18th and May 4th Toys R Us customers will be able to make cash donations and learn more about autism; both online and in the stores. Part of the information that will be made available to patrons is the “Ten Toys That Speaks To Autism.” The National Lekotek Center advised Toys R Us on choosing the toys for this list.
When asked about the list, Autism Speaks said “The ten toys selected promote language, creativity and social skills that aid an autistic child’s development. This unique list features toys that children with autism can play with alongside their siblings and friends and also includes early warning signs of autism.”
“Through our ‘Ten Toys That Speak to Autism’ initiative, we are pleased to provide an authoritative resource to help anyone who knows and loves an autistic child. Bringing smiles to all children through the simple act of play is at the very heart of our business, and we are proud to partner with Autism Speaks in its efforts to advocate for the needs of children and families affected by this disorder,” said Jerry Storch, Chairman and CEO of Toys “R” Us, Inc.
