Jacob's Ball Special Needs Evaluation

Bud designed this ball after talking to the mother of a blind boy named Jacob

Easy to Grab! The unique, patented ribs on the Jacob's Rib-It-Ball™ make it easy to grab even for the smallest hands. The handle-like ribs also aid in the development of balance and motor skills. Ball is surprisingly light weight, making it fun and easy to throw even for children with limited muscle strength.

Stays Within Reach - Because of its unique rib design, Rib-It-Ball™ stays within reach. The handle-like ribs prevent it from rolling out of reach so that children experience more hands-on "play time" instead of frustrating "chase time".

Fun, Crisp Sound - Jacob's Rib-It-Ball™ is made with a unique, crisp material that naturally makes noise, enhancing auditory awareness every time it's touched.

High Contrasting Colors - The high contrasting colors are perfect for kids with limited visual ability.
