Dolls For Downs

I really love this idea. In the era of Barbies, we need more real dolls, specially for special needs children.

international QUOTE
When Hannah Feda got disheartened looking through a toy catalogue, her mother Connie got an idea for a project that's now getting nationwide attention.

Her long search turned up a doll sculptor in Michigan willing to create a special design. The 18-inch creations, Pittsburgh's WPXI recently reported, have changeable clothing that stresses occupational therapy skills such as zippers, Velcro, over-sized buttons, ties and snaps.

Roughly 16 exist at Dolls for Downs. Connie credits the dolls for giving Hannah, now 13, a comforting toy that boosts her self-esteem. Source 7

Love this idea! It's wonderful to know that something so simple as a doll can help boost the self esteem of special needs children. I hope this kind of things gets more media attention.

Great initiative! Big firms tend to focus their production on the big market. What really counts is numbers. As a result, every product is now standard and dedicated to mass fruition. That's true for every category, not only toys. Being still able to find products that take the needs of minorities into account is pleasing.

I wholly agree with Bruconero. Not every doll that's created has to look like Barbie which by the way is not how anyone looks!
