Special needs within a family are addressed best through play and through dolls according to mother and special needs advocate, Loretta Boronat. Boronat founded the line of My Sibling Dolls to help children living with downs, autism or other developmental conditions to assimilate with their siblings. The dolls, too, are packaged and assembled by teens and adults living with special needs. Online and phone ordering are available. My Sibling Dolls are stocked at the Words Bookstore in Maplewood or by visiting the store's Web site.
