Need gift for child with a mental disability?
teacher4u25f asked:
My boyfriend's ex-nephew (ex-wife's family) has a four year old with a mental disability. He will be turning five in a couple of weeks. His ex's family invited me and my BF to the child's b-day party. What should I get him. I am a teacher so naturally I would buy him books and educational toys but...he has someting similar to autism, down syndrome, and slight brain damage from lack of oxygen during delivery all combined according to his doctors...are there any books that he might benifit from..I don't want to insult his parents by buying books b/c he will never have the ability to read independently as he gets older????Any suggestionsI want to get something that he would like and the parents can use to teach him things..
he's disability is considered severe..he does not speak or respond to anything ..but he loves bright white lights..I thought about a flash light but I mean how silly does that sound..I don't have children so I am not up to date on the latest toys...
