Leveling the playing field: UK students adapt books, toys for children with disabilities
SUMMARY: Playing is crucial for children’s development, but toys can be challenging for kids with disabilities. The University of Kentucky’s “Toys with a Purpose” program is addressing this issue by adapting toys for inclusivity.
