Hasbro Helps Kids With Disabilities Learn To Play

An article at Huff Post yesterday highlights new videos made by the toy company, Hasbro, Inc., who have partnered with The Autism Project, "a group of parents and professionals that help people with autism to create instructional videos and tools to help children with developmental disabilities learn how to play with their toys."

Eight of Hasbro's classic toys, from modeling clay to games, are featured in these videos and accompanying playbooks. They can help parents and caregivers teach children how to use/play with the toys and also encourage development during playtime.
