Imagine the joy on the face of a blind child, or a child with cere- bral palsy, who can finally make their own music? Every parent knows that the right toy at the right time can really stim- ulate a child to advance in the next step of growth and development, and it holds doubly true for a child with a handicap. Please keep that in mind this year, as you or your or- ganization are making out a list of Christmas donations. If you are in- terested in helping, please call 482- 3557. By Roberta Walker DASHWOOD - Several years ago, a toy library was organized and set up in a room at the ARC of- fice in Dashwood. Concerned family support work- ;rs and school resource workers 'elt there was a need for handi- lapped children to experience the simulation of a wide variety of Oys at different levels of their de- Tlopment. This was often difficult fir parents to proside, already, bur- dned with the extra costs, of keep - i g a handicapped child at home. So the idea was born, to organize a lending Iibrar} of clean, sturdy tors, carefully chosen, to be sent hone for a child to enjoy and learn wilt, and returned, to be cleaned and used again. 'he budget was tiny, but they were assisted by the South Huron Association and small, private do- nations. Last year, Huron County was re- organized as part of a government pilot project. The three Associa- tions of Wingham, Goderich, and South Huron were combined, to share a central office, support workers, and government funding, out of Clinton. The Toy Library was also relocated to the Clinton office. Now the needs of all physically and mentally handicapped children of Huron County are served by "Community Support for Families". This also means. of course, that more toys, and a wider range of toys, will be needed to help more children.
