Fantastic
Dyspraxic Kids Support
Group 
for use with Dyspraxic children.
They are especially good for hand/eye co-ordination, pen control,
sequencing of thoughts and forward planning, 3D awareness and more.
After feedback from members we hope (subject to funding) to be able to
buy more toys to specifically target gross-motor control, body awareness
and speech difficulties.
Any toys that aren't currently being borrowed are stored at the Link Centre where we meet.
On fun nights members can choose any toys to take home for their children to
play with for as long as they like (within reason!) and then just bring them
back and swap them for some more.
As long as the toys are getting used we're happy - in fact at the end of the night it's
Chris the 'Toy Master' s job to persuade members to borrow them. So he's popular!
It's £1 per selection of toys (not £1 per toy!) to borrow each time.
The £1,000 grant we applied for to buy these toys in 2005 has been used for maximum
benefit to our children and so it's no surprise that the Toy Library is our most
used and popular resource.
