Is there a store that sells toys for autistic kids in Washington DC?




Victoria


IF there is a store in Washington DC that sells toys especially intended for autistic kids, I need to know either the name and location or the website.
Thank you very much for your help.

Here's a good article that recommends toys to buy for autistic kids.

My son has high functioning autism. When he was a toddler, I found that electronic toys were not a good play toy for him. He was obsessed with the lights, or the buzzing or whatever noise it made. He did not "play" with it.

Try to find toys that the child can have meaningful play with and will foster imaginative play. Buy a dollhouse with figures and demonstrate for him what these figures do in their house. Or get building blocks to help with motor coordination.

I wouldn't buy any "special" autistic toys. Plain old regular toys will work just fine.

Actually, Discovery toys has very good toys. They can be for any child, autistic or not. Here's their website and they say their toys are suitable for autistic children. I have a few of their toys. They are kind of expensive, but of excellent quality.
(We have Whiz Kids and The Brain Game - both of my children, one with HFA and the other typical, LOVE these games).

Where to sell kids toys?

I have some toys I want to get rid of but I paid a lot of money for them so is there anywhere I can sell kids toys? They not like baby toys but like race cars and trucks and spy stuff. Toys for 10 years olds maybe. I prefer to sell them to a store or in person but if it does have to be online, I don't want it to be ebay, amazon, or craigslist because I have tried them already and I don't like them. Any other suggestions would be great. Thanks!
