Essential properties in toys for children with autism: analysis of materials and manufacturing processes

The selection of materials and manufacturing processes holds a profound influence on the sensory and perceptual experiences children derive from toys, shaping their overall interaction with the product. It is imperative for toys to not only entertain but also contribute positively to the holistic de...
