Early vision stimulation

Homemade Black & White cards for early visual stimulation

I used large blank index cards. My older kids and I drew large pictures with black marker.

I laminated the cards with a home laminator. Very cheap and very effective.

This toy known as a Skwish is great for little hands that don't have much fine motor control. Grace could grab it with ease and move it from one hand to another without losing it too fast. If it fell, it wouldn't roll far and she could grab it again.

Homemade Positioning Chair

A wide range of possibilities exist for seating systems. Anything labeled "special needs" is also very expensive. Until we could find what Grace needed and what we could afford, this homemade foam chair worked great. I could always put her in this chair and know she was supported and safe. I bought the foam at a local hardware store. Foam is not cheap but it is less expensive than the positioning chair we eventually purchased. I cut the foam with an electric knife. Each layer of the foam chair was built by using spray glue (777 worked best.)
