"I have used the Teach-A-Bodies Anatomical Dolls since 1996. As the Executive Director of the Williamson County Child Advocacy Center, Herrin, Illinois, one of my "other" duties was to help law enforcement and our Department of Children and Family Services investigators with interviews involving very young childhood victims of sexual abuse. I have found the anatomical dolls very helpful especially for clarification when a child discloses touching by other children and adults. We complete drawings to assess their knowledge of body parts, but the anatomical dolls really help with clarification of specifics of the abuse." ...-- Executive Director, Child Advocacy Center Herrin, Illinois
