New line of “Sew Able” vinyl dolls for special needs children
celebrates the ABLE in disabled.East Greenwich, RI (PRWEB via
PRWebDirect) January 11, 2006 --
Sew Dolling™, LLC announces the successful launch of a new line of
unique vinyl dolls used in play therapy that celebrates the
differences and the challenges of special needs children. The
limited-edition
Sew Able vinyl dolls include nine with above-the-knee or
below-the-knee amputations and three dolls without hair.
Several years in the making, these dolls for
special needs
children were produced and carefully designed to look as real and
natural as possible. “We believe the expense put into the doll is well
worth it if it can help even one child, through
play therapy, feel accepted,” states Susan Svendsen, owner of Sew
Dolling™, LLC. “This is also a great way to help other children who
have friends, classmates, or siblings with disabilities understand
that we are all different, special and unique!”
The dolls with prosthetic legs have been specially fitted and include
a pair of crutches. These dolls can stand with the crutches and can
also be positioned to stand without. A full line of physical therapy
accessories is available, including wheelchairs, parallel bars, mats
and therapy balls, allowing the child’s doll to progress along with
their owner. The dolls without hair come with a wig and a bandana,
slouch hat or baseball cap.
“Play therapy is extremely important to help children build their
sense of self worth,” adds Svendsen. “A child may long to meet or play
with others who look like they do, but this is not always possible.
These dolls are offered as a supplement to help a special needs child
in their journey.”
These highly collectible limited-edition dolls have small production
runs with some limited to just 172 in the edition. A portion of each
sale is donated to hospitals that help special needs children. To
