During a period of research in different autistic schools a statement was highlighted that “self-initiated creativity in autistic children remains a problem.” Products were created to embrace this skill and specifically designed so the children’s mistakes or experiments were not comparable but just exploration.
The project concluded in a series of products and play workshops which successfully initiated the children’s independent creative thoughts. The main outcome created design workshops and feedback leading to positive learning that had previously not been embraced.

The pupils would often wonder in thoughts during lessons. The pen lids allowed the children to easily access the pen, eliminate a swallowing hazard and created bubbles in the classroom illustrating to the teacher who was distracted…quietly. This worked to great effect within the confines of an autistic school.
