Lucas
About this project
The team set out to make a toy for Lucas that has lights and music for him to enjoy using something called a wave shield. They also wanted this toy to illustrate to Lucas the concept of cause and effect. They did this by making the lights change color when he clicks a button. This toy will provide Lucas with a fun interactive toy that is much more fun and diverse than his other ones, as well as help his therapists understand his cognitive abilities.
The challenge
He struggles to understand cause and affect, and
Who it helps
Lucas is a 6-year-old in Westchester with trauma-induced cerebral palsy.
