Professionals doctors and specialists and family members are the ones who need to be in charge of spotting the features each child needs.
Some of the esential things we need to take into account when choosing a toy or a game for children with disabilities are the age and type of disability. For instance, in cases of motor disability, adaptations in toys for babies is quite high per se.
This is due to the fact that at an early age the mobility of babies with or without disabilities is practically the same, but the differences in motor activity are more notable as children grow. But not only the age and the type of disability are key when choosing any toy or game, children not only the ones with disabilities , usually have different learning rhythms , so it is important to call certain specifications into question with regard to the age, depending on the case. Even so, when talking about games for children with disabilities, we can establish the following general guidelines.
Children with motor disabilities usually start their physical therapy when their first months of life are taking place and their parents moving their efforts and eagerness into it.

One of the usual elements for adapting games for children with disabilities is the use of push buttons. They, apart from stimulating the game , are used in some day-to-day devices such as computers, controls, switches or keys. Getting to have autonomy with push buttons, will make easier for them the fact of controlling those devices in the future.
