Wendy

This soft, cuddly doll is ideal for children with physical challenges and can be fun and educational for all kids. Wendy is a precocious little girl who uses the Braille alphabet to read and also loves to play music. Her seeing-eye dog is named Liam. Wendy's friend Kyle happens to be deaf, but that doesn't stop him from playing baseball at the park and showing his teammates sign language. “Play can become a powerful vehicle for summoning courage, regaining strength and building confidence,” Founder Laurie DesRosier of Kids With Possibilities told TDmonthly. “These dolls and products have come to market to inspire, motivate and celebrate uniqueness. Books will accompany the dolls, too." Launch date: September 2007.
