I don't about other languages but I think the Bop It could be great for a child with visual impairment. It is about physically responding on cue to a tactile object.

Hi Jessica,He will be fine be sure to get him a helmet, gloves and knee pads as when they first learning how to ride that is the first thing to hit the ground when they crash. You will want to get the extended warranty as the back wheel assembly goes out. Both of my boys have gone out and they are 7 and 8 and weigh less than 70 lbs each.

I guess it depends on the company and the child's diagnosis... It is a great product but pricey. As a parent of a child with special needs, I would suggest looking into Babies Can't Wait.

Use with my home daycare, along with a climbing dome and slide. Up to age 10.

The reason we chose this pad is that we bought a used wooden dressing table with drawers at a garage sale for my daughter and with it being such an odd size, this pad was one of the few I could find that fits the dimensions for the top of the table. The pad is durable and you could certainly use it as a portable changing pad on top of a desk, countertop, bed, or couch. It is a good size whereas many of the portable ones that come with a baby bag are small, cheap and flimsy. After extended use you may experience wear in the fabric/vinyl from rolling it up. If you have additional questions, I will be more than happy to assist if I can.

we have these in the classroom that i teach 12 children on the autism spectrum. They get kicked, sat on, thrown, punched, chewed, stomped on and they have held up for YEARS!

I am sorry I don't know It was a gift for a neighbor's grandaughter. I do know she loves it as much an my own grand children have loved the other leap pads I've bought them. I'm sure if it doesn't your fellow seatmates would be much more annoyed with a fussy child lol

I think it would be OK if you helped your child with the first few programs, (they are in the book that comes with the robot). Aftert your child sees the process I think it will be a great toy him/her.It works best on hardwood or tile.

Yes, he crashes thru the house and loves riding this vehicle. Best investment I have made in terms of toys. He turned 2 in January and he hoped right on it and rode. He had to learn to pay attention to pushing the button and watching where he is going.

The area is not big enough for children. A smaller child may fit, but probably not safely.

Hi Amanda I suppose it would depend on what sort of disability the child has. However, I can safely put my as was 3 year old daughter in this, and she was kept safe and secure. Feet are strapped on to the peddles so can not accidentally fall off, the body/chest is securely strapped in with a three point harness, and to date she's not yet worked out how to undo it. Possible issues. A) Child could happily stick arms out on either side risking them being hit by passing objects. B) No side head support, so if the child struggles to keep their neck straight, this may be an issue. As far as B is concerned, we purchased one of those sleeping cushions for long flights, and have fitted that to the bike, so that if she wants to sleep she can. The only other thing I'd say is, if the child isn't going to help pedal, you'll be limited on the hills that you could tackle with it, simply due to weight of child/trailer.

I agree that the InnoTab is going to be a little too easy for her. My son is six and it's not as fun/challenging for him. My four year old loves it. The games for this machine top out at age 8, and especially if she's bright I think she'd be easily bored by the games you can buy for this. Leap Pad2 I think is a little more appropriate for that age, but also she's going to top out pretty quickly. DS is probably a good option for her, though the games are not always geared towards learning if that is a concern. Good luck!

Yes. It has a calming effect on my granddaughter. It is really nice to be able to move it around in the house, because it is light weight.

yes, it can rest in the child's lap - with medium sized pieces and the board is also lap-able - just watch out for car sickness !

It is a pretty good project. The robotic arm is a little harder to build. Both are good for kids 12-15 with no previous building experience.
