AblePlay™ Evaluators are the individuals who take toys and play products and put them through the rigorous AblePlay™ evaluation process.
All AblePlayTM evaluators have degrees in special education, early childhood education, or related therapeutic disciplines and have been previously certified by the National Lekotek Center to provide hands-on direct services to children with special needs and their families in Lekotek play centers.
All evaluators have been specially trained using the official
AblePlay™ evaluation tool and execute each important step
in the evaluation process. The AblePlayTM
evaluation process is designed to ensure an independent
and detailed assessment of the each toy.
If you plan to purchase any of the AblePlay-RatedTM toys, we hope you will use the "Where to Buy" links or the retail links on each product's AblePlayTM Product Review page and purchase products via this website. Your patronage will help support the success of this free resource and ultimately, help sustain Lekotek's play-based direct services and toy lending libraries for children with special needs. Thanks! Lekotek is a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization.
