Danny and the Merry-Go-Round

Playgrounds are not always user friendly for children with special needs. A parent alone often finds it daunting. This day on the playground brings new friends and new fun for Danny who has cerebral palsy. Great for encouraging other parents and children to reach out in friendship. Neat for working on the concepts of self and social acceptance. (simple explanation of cerebral palsy)
