best infant toys for down syndrome image
Treat
I have a disabled almost 3 year old family member. He has down syndrome, so most of the product toys for his age group don't fit him. He cannot walk yet because of very poor muscle tone, and has limited interest and ability for toys for his true age. I already got him a whole new wardrobe and would like some toys. Any help??? What would really help him?
Answer
My sister turns three tomorrow and she has down syndrome. Interactive things are always good for these kids. Things with music and lights. Dont feel bad going into the infant secton to find a fun colorful toy. We usually get her things that fir 12-18 months. We found the Hasbro Playskool Step Start Walk n ride was great to help her working on mobility. She loves her infant bowling set. Depending on his weight you could consider a bouncer to help work on muscle tone.

1 year old toddler cant speak a word?
Jim
My kid is now 1 year and a month old. He cant speak a word. He can listen even a pin drop. I am very worried, maternity nurse said he will be ok. I have seen many kids who start talking even before the age of 1 year. He had DownSyndrome test but it came negative.
Please advise what should I do...
We have no elders to guide us here.
Thanks
He makes noise like dadadada every time
Answer
I'll be your son was an early walker and probably started getting around on his own by 11 months. right? It seems that infants fall into one of two categories; they either talk early, which means they can get people to do things for them, or they walk early, which means they can get around on their own.
Why did you have him tested for Down Syndrome? Does he have the facial configuration that is typical of Down syndrome?
You say he makes a sound like, "dadadada" - and that type of vocalization is the precursor to speach. Try spending more time talking to him -- dada, mama, milk or water - (which, in baby talk, would be mmm or wawa) and perhaps holding his favorite toy close to him and using the name of the toy.
Above all, be patient. If he's normal in other aspects, slow speaking ability isn't something to worry about. Some children don't start talking until they are around two -- but then they go like a house on fire and catch up with the early talkers.
