This project was a collaboration between Ruyi Chen and I.

This project was done in a class which focused on assistive technology at NYU ITP. We met with an occupational therapist whom challenged us to make therapy fun for a patient of her's named Benny. Benny was 3 years old at the time, and had Cerebral Palsy.

We were given a cardboard box compatible with his sitting chair. Benny's occupational therapy was comprised of him pressing his feet into the cardboard box which had a switch inside.

Using this cardboard switch, we crafted a toy that had lights and music. It showed Benny going up and down a belt, as if flying. The toy came with multiple backgrounds and cutouts of his whole family.
