Due to the various physical difficulties involved
with Goldenhar Syndrome, many types of therapy are recommended for our
children. Some include:
- Speech Therapy (to help develop both feeding techniques, and
speech)
- Physical Therapy (gross motor skills)
- Occupational Therapy (fine motor skills)
- And Many Others.
Due to my daughter's specific needs for developing all of
these areas I took on a proactive roll in therapy for her. When therapists
weren't readily available, I incorporated her different therapies into her
daily play routine.
With always being on the lookout for great educational toys,
games and books, my husband found a catalogue for Discovery Toys for me.
Discovery Toys targets their toys for specific growth areas
such as:
- Sensory Skills

- Thinking and Problems Solving Skills
