With shortened arms and legs and smaller hands, poor core and little neck control that means she can only hold her head up for short periods, it means even finding joy in play was difficult \u2013 until she received the right specialist toys.<\/p>\n<p>For the first 12 months of her life, Gabriella had to lay flat on her back as she was unable to sit up by herself and had a curve in her spine. Equipment such as a flat car seat and buggy helped with this, and at home Gabriella would lie flat on the floor, but she became easily bored and frustrated and needed toys to focus on to help distract her, as well as aid with her development.<\/p>\n<p>Her mum and dad, Laura and Ian, weren\u2019t sure which toys would best meet Gabriella\u2019s needs, as she finds it difficult to reach for toys and to hold and grasp objects, so turned to Newlife for the free loan of a Play Therapy Pod of specialist toys to help her.
