Environment Shot
My project aims to create a sensory integration object for children with autism, that will help with their sensory development by involving the sensation of touch and texture.
  • Statement
  • Important to Note
  • Refinement of Initial design
    "One big problem I ran into was the stability of this product and how it would balance and offer that gradual fall while not complicating the design or assembly process. This solution requires no additional hinges, screws, bolts, etc. It can be taken apart in one swift move and stored away more easily. "
