- November 2008!
Children within the autism spectrum suffer
from various forms of sensory distortion which interferes
with their ability to internally organize a coherent
picture of the world outside them. Because of this,
they often seek to make to organize by creating order in
their play. Building toys can enable them to do
this, and they are beneficial on many other levels.
In addition, marble runs not only allow them to build and
create order but to see cause and effect by creating a
maze for a marble to run through. Their many
benefits aside, these toys are just plain fun!
