We have used the dino bookshelf to help engage our early learners in reading and books.

The bubble tower helps multiple of my students with regulation as well as an understanding of cause and effect (we hooked it up to a power link and switch). Lastly, the tap tap lights help to encourage my orthopedic students to stand. They have also been used as an alternative to hitting (\"we don't hit teacher, but we can hit the lights\").
