Entry Description

Foraging Island is a board game designed to foster social skills development and encourage positive interactions among youth with social challenges.
The game features a variety of sensory components, including visual, tactile, and physical movements, making it engaging for all players and providing valuable sensory input for individuals with hyposensitivity. Two types of boards are developed according to the variety of abilities and preferences of individuals with autism: printed one that can be assembled like a jigsaw puzzle, and tactile one that is more flexible for free play.
