Thesis Response 3

Thesis Author: Megan De Castro
Thesis Title: The Sense of Sensing Senses
Thesis Link

I was really interested in reading Megan's thesis because her topic of designing to for children with Sensory Processing Disorder relates to one of my thesis ideas of using design to help teach children. Overall, the paper was very informative and well researched. It was interesting how children with SPD can be helped to overcome this through learning exercises.  It was very helpful how she used diagrams to illustrate the exercises used to help these children with SPD. In the final section of the paper, she really started to discuss how designers can help to educate these children through calming yet challenging designs of exercises. Reading this thesis has made me want to further look into the topic of using design to teach.
