Parent of an Autistic Child, Product Advise and Recommendations


We have gathered together some advise and product recommendations from Parents who have autistic children and from an Autistic Therapist (aka line therapist). We have asked them which 5 of the Time 4 Felt products are their favorites to use with their Autistic child (or Asperger's syndrome) and why. Here is what they had to say.

Holly

 Holly is the the home schooling parent of two autistic teens. Her website is Prism Tea.com. They specialize in high quality tea and yummy tea treats, jam and exotic snacks.

"As the mother of an Autistic Child I would choose..."

Girl Felt Dress Up Doll
" The Girl Felt Dress Up Doll because putting together an outfit is difficult for my child and this would make practice easier."

This big brother is a busy boy. He can hit the slopes, rid the surf, and even go out to dinner. The Boy Dress Up Doll is about 9 inches tall and your choice of felt doll is printed on 1/4 inch thick, high quality felt.
