Adapted Toy Lending Library Play serves a critical role in child development, and toys are the child’s tools for learning. Adapted toys make the world of play accessible to children with all disabilities. Families residing in the Central Florida Region can take advantage of our Adaptive Toy Lending Library. A one-year membership will enable a family or non-profit agency the opportunity to use the library on an unlimited basis for a full year. Toys and switches that operate toys can be borrowed on a 30 day trial basis. Two toys, plus any needed switches, can be borrowed at one time. One month renewal is possible if there is no one waiting. The fee for families is $15; the fee for non-profit agencies is $40. Check out our toy inventory catalog!
