Exploro was a sensory, dynamic, modular and responsive toy, that complemented sensory processing disorder therapy for children from 3 to 5 years old. 

 

In Chile, around 25% of the population of school age has some condition that can be associated with a sensory processing disorder. In the public health system, children can only access one therapy session every month, even when they need to have 2 sessions per week to improve their condition. Exploro used the time between therapy sessions to exercise the sensory area in conflict, compensating for the distance between sessions.

​

The toy is formed by a deconstructed cube that children use as a play space. It had 8 faces, each one provided a different kind of sensory stimulation (as vibration, music, lights, and heat, among others) as a reaction to the child’s actions. For example, if a kid touched a face for 5 seconds it started to vibrate and it changed the intensity depending on how the kid touched the face.
