Aslamu Alakuim, I want to ask if you have any toys, for children with special needs. my son is eight years old and has autism (nurological disorder and learning dissability), and I am at a loss as he has not started to learn Quran reading. He sings songs in English languages from the cbeebies website and picks up indian and English songs quickly , but when it comes to urdu and Arabic it, he blocks it out as it seems foreign to him. I have tried so much but feel lost, however he copies behaviour and words, which is part of his condition called Echolalia, so I am wondering if you have electronic toys, that could teach basics, which he could just hear and repeat on a regular basis. his way of communicating is through pictures and social stories, so if you have anything that would help my son learn Quran and his religeon, through copying and pictures. I would be very grateful, Autism is a common condition that the muslim community has not had much awareness about, and I am not alone as I know many muslim mums struggle to teach islam to thier autistic children,and the mosque do not have adequate understanding to teach these children, as if they try to shout or hit the child to discipline them, their behavior gets worse, so they need to be taught with love and understanding. At school my son is influenced mostly by western environment and culture and they have taught him about differnt religeons, but not Islam, they tend not too, as Islam is so misunderstood, I have already asked, but it has been ignored. my son comes home from school singing the indian religous prayers they teach him at school, and this is so unfair, as he doesnt seem to understand about his own religeon islam, PLEASE HELP. JazakALLAH.
