I thought it was important to make sure they were represented, too. So, I went on a search for dolls that have wheelchairs, crutches, etc. To my surprise, I even found dolls with braces! I think this would help kids who are different to feel better about themselves.




P.S Here's the link to the physical therapy equipment and wheelchairs for the bigger dolls. Please remember that the bigger dolls are for older children.

Thanks for what you are doing for the special needs community.

Those are the dolls that tell their own stories. Dolls like that would help children with special needs grow not up feeling bad about themselves for being different. Those would help them develop a positive outlook towards themselves – that being different doesn’t make them any less loveable, as they’re being loved by the people around them the same way they’re loving those special toys.
