I'm looking for birthday gift ideas for a very special 12 year old boy. He is mentally challenged, but is very bright. I know that he understands and can do plenty of things, but he just has a hard time with communication. He can play computer games and understands everything you're asking him to do.

Any ideas?



Answer
If you want to go with a toy, just cruise the toy isle at any store and pick out what's cool. Kids are kids when it comes to toys, learning disabilities or not :-)

If you are wanting to build on his computer gaming, you could go with Roller Coaster Tycoon. You have to build your own amusement park and roller coasters. Way cool and it exercises learning and critical thinking. Do not fret, it is not too difficult.

If you are looking to facilitate communication, then get a board game. This will require some interaction and speaking on his part but in a group setting with limited stress. The improved Battleship is all computer like with sounds. Cool.

If you are looking to introduce a potential hobby, pick up a model train set. All boys love model trains and the sets are relatively priced at a hobby shop. This could be something that grows with him as new gifts can incorporate more track, figures and buildings, etc.

Remember that Christmas is around the corner so pick up something for that while you are shopping for the birthday so you will not be left in a lurch with bare toy shelves. Good luck and enjoy.

What are some inexpensive and creative ideas for a 20 year old birthday gift?
