Join Eliza, Chase, and FRIENDS at Comic Con this weekend!
Member One invited us to share the message of Inclusive Toys at Comic Con. We hope to educate others on why inclusive toys are important, and hopefully gather some new supporters....
This is our TENTH YEAR, and we want to make this year a year of spreading joy.

A new Barbie!

The eyes of the new Barbie shift slightly to the side to represent how some people with autism sometimes avoid direct eye contact.

We had a marvelous time at Virginia Heights Elementary School. They are wonderful partners and hosts! Our Roanoke College Elves from ASL, Education, and Disability Studies programs and classes gave Toys Like Me to the children, who enjoyed playing with their gifts. ASL was enjoyed by all!

Look for media pieces from WFXR and WSLS in the coming days, and please share the links here!
