Developmental disabilities represent certain deviations that occur due to the influence of various factors in the prenatal, perinatal and postnatal period, and consequently manifest in one or more aspects of the child's life. Thus, daily activities such as feeding, moving, spending free time and playing can be difficult for children with developmental disabilities. Performing these activities can be greatly facilitated by assistive technology for both children and parents. Assistive technology is divided according to its purpose into 7 areas, one of which relates to adapted toys and games, that is, assistive toys. Play is so important for children that it is considered "child's work". Through play, children learn, grow and develop. Children with developmental disabilities have the same need for play as children without disabilities, and also have the same right to play. However, most of the existing games and toys are in some way inaccessible for this population of children - be it excessive complexity, complex handling or parts of the toy that are too small. Due to the limited information available on parental perspectives on this topic, the main aim of this research is to gain knowledge about parents' perception of assistive toys. The second aim of the research is to find out the stances of parents in the Republic of Croatia on this topic. According to the stated aims of the research, questions were constructed for the questionnaire, which was then forwarded online to Associations whose members are parents of children with developmental disabilities. The obtained results are limited by the size of the research sample, but they show the need for greater informing about assistive toys, as well as changes in some aspects related to them, such as price and availability. According to the statements of the participants, assistive toys mostly had a positive contribution for the child.
