A note on individualized recommendations

Cerebral palsy presents very differently from child to child. Motor profiles, affected limbs, and support needs vary enormously. Toy selection should be guided by your child's OT and PT who know their specific motor profile. Switch adaptation options should be discussed with your OT or AT specialist.
