INTRODUCTION--FINAL DRAFT

Creating something new and unique is something I like to do; it is a part of who I am. Sometimes don’t you just wonder what you can with your abilities and with favorite things to do? So I’ve decided to do something that will benefit others.

People say that autism is a disability; some other people say that autism is weird and different. To them, autism is a beautiful grace. Even though there are some disabilities included in autism, but some say autism have more IQ than people with no autism. I think they are both kids with disabilities and special abilities. It’s interesting how they have special abilities, which put them as a brighter student than the rest of the students. They might not have the ability to do everything and may have a disability, but they are special.

For my personal project, I would like to make character dolls that will help kids with autism develop. I will be designing and creating the dolls and later I will give them to the kids with autism with hope that it will help them grow, develop and make good use of it. Kids with autism needs tools to make their censoring skills better. That is the reason why I’m going to make dolls that will develop their censoring skills. The Area of Interaction I will relate this to is Community and Service. One of the many reasons why is because I want to learn more about this community and help them to develop in a way that would benefit them at the most.

My plan is to first of all find a society or institution that helps autism kids. After that, I will search about the institution and ask whether they need help or not. Next, I will be interviewing a professional for advice on how to help the autism kids with toys, and I will also do some other research through other resources. After that, I will start designing the dolls (with characters) and at the same time I will be finding the perfect material for the dolls. Next, I will start creating the dolls based on the design with the texture and material. When I’m done creating the dolls, I will give those dolls to the community or group of people that helps autism kids to achieve my goal.

I’ll know that I have succeeded if the kids with autism will hold the toy for at least 3 minutes, to know whether they like it or not. If they hold the toy for at least 3 minutes, it means they like it. If they hold it less than 3 minutes, I assume they don’t like it, which means I failed.
