Sometimes I'm amazed at the simple solutions that parents (or therapists, other educators) come up with. Something so easy, that I think "wow, why didn't I think of that???". But, when a mom I know- a fellow Angelman Syndrome parent- posted a tip today online, I was obviously not the only parent who hadn't thought of it. She received numerous comments from other parents who also thought it was a fantastic idea.

Josh's mom found that her son was having a hard time keeping his toy in an upright position when he played with it.

"All I did was glue the gumball machine to a cookie sheet that I bought at Goodwill for 25 cents. Josh is now able to play with it much more successfully! Before he would accidentally push it over, and the balls would all roll away from him. He is loving it! "
