Toy adaptations in pediatrics.
This report describes a special project of a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant on a pediatric rehabilitation unit who learned to adapt battery operated toys for use by multihandicapped children. This led to the enhancement of patient treatment and requests for the assistant to consult with other professionals. Instructions are given for fabricating simple controls for use by handicapped children to activate battery operated toys.
