Testimonials

“The joy and excitement on the faces of the children has been immeasurable. The toys are also very reinforcing in establishing cause-effect relationships for children with disabilities. Some of the children with special needs have limited opportunities for "play" with toys that they can manipulate. Your donations have made their play time more meaningful and interactive for them.”

Speech-Language Pathologist, Euclid City Schools

"You lit up his life with the giant teddy bear who sings, and the remote control car.  He loves getting his peers involved with his play, and these two very exciting items, certainly brought them over to him.  His smile lights up a room, and we thank you for helping make that happen.  Your generous gifts will be used and used and used!! Many thanks from the children at the Brooklyn Schools."

Speech-Language Pathologist, Brooklyn School District

"I would like to thank you for your organization's recent donation of switch adapted toys. During the holidays we find that many organizations are generous in their donations, however I cannot imagine a more appreciated gift than the toys that have been especially adapted for the children here at the Windfall School.

I have forwarded the toys to our therapists. They will ensure that the toys are used for enjoyment and instruction. The toys that were donated are unique in that they are not toys that one would typically find in an adapted equipment catalog. The toys are age and gender appropriate and they are typical to the toys with which other children often play. This makes them very motivating and special to our students.

This is the first year we have been so generously gifted and it is my sincere hope that it is the beginning of a very long and happy relationship. Once again, thank you from our organization and more importantly, thank you on behalf of our students. They will truly reap the benefits of your efforts."

“Please extend our gratitude to those responsible for giving our toys a new lease on life! We are so grateful that you were able to repair all of the toys we gave you and even adapt one for us so it can be used with a switch. We truly appreciate this service being offered at no cost to our agency. The toys have been put back on the shelf, ready for circulation in our toy lending library. We are so glad to have RePlay for Kids as another partner in our effort to enrich the lives of children with disabilities.”

“I just wanted to thank you and RePlay for Kids for the wonderful service you offer to programs serving children with disabilities. Our agency is fortunate to be part of this program. We estimate a savings of $350 to $500 annually in repair bills thanks to your organization. This may not seem like much to some agencies but for us it is a small fortune. We appreciate you contacting us and look forward to our continued partnership.”
