ABSTRACT

Industry collaborates with developmental experts to gain a deeper understanding and broader perspective of how particular toys, or products, can meet desired developmental goals. Experts' evaluations are valued and recommendations taken seriously. However the collaboration doesn't always result in a magical toy that is brought to market and sells millions. This talk describes some successful and some not-too-successful collaborations and suggest best practices for successful ones.
