Welcome families, one and all, to the HLC Holiday Gift (Suggestion) Shoppe! So many parents ask our therapists about toys, games and trinkets they can get their child to facilitate progress toward their therapeutic goals. Social media is flooded with questions of this sort. Allow HLC’s brilliant therapists to share their most coveted holiday gift recommendations! In the HLC Gift (Suggestion) Shoppe, parents will find Christmas gifts to support language development, fine motor skills, gross motor development, and more. We will keep adding to this list in the coming weeks and highlight each toy in social media, so make sure you like us on Facebook and Instagram!
