Abstract
This presentation will detail the process of creating an assistive technology for a child (age 6-12) who experiences seizures. This model is not intended to be given to children with seizures, but rather will be given to the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing to teach students about accommodations. Our team communicated with our sponsor, brainstormed, created 3D models, and finally created a prototype of our model. We decided on a combination of a medicine compartment and a head rest that is easily transportable for a child. This model will help nursing students better understand and assist children who experience seizures.
