The number one question during this holiday season is: What do I buy my loved ones for Christmas? When buying a gift for a child with cerebral palsy, you have several factors to consider. Our team wants to make it easier for you to buy gifts for those affected.

3 Things To Consider When Looking for a Gift

  1. Developmental Stage: Choosing an appropriate toy for the child's developmental stage can help them reach milestones they are working towards. The toy may even help them progress to their next milestone if they are struggling with developmental delays.
  2. Interests: Knowing what the child finds interesting at the moment will help you narrow down where to shop. It will also make the gift more meaningful to them.
  3. Safety: Check the materials that are used to make the toy. You may also want to be knowledgeable about any toy recalls that are listed on the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website.
