About Us

AblePlay is the latest initiative from the nonprofit National Lekotek Center, division of the nonprofit Anixter Center, and the leading authority on toys and play for children with disabilities.

In November 2005, the National Lekotek Center launched the AblePlay website at www.ableplay.org providing access to authoritative ratings and detailed reviews on toys and other play products for children with disabilities. AblePlay’s unique evaluation process provides product information categorized by disability to simplify the toy-buying experience.

This free, easy-to-use and highly informative website gives parents and professionals an easy tool to review and purchase some of the newest off-the-shelf toy offerings and relate them to children with physical, sensory, communicative and cognitive disabilities.

AblePlay was created so parents, special educators, therapists and others can make the best toy choices based on the needs of their child.
