As part of this material, they created the character Otto, a boy who faces challenges related to attention in his studies, daily activities, and emotional regulation. Inspired by their concept, I brought Otto to life and developed the illustrations for a children's picture book designed to help kids understand and overcome these difficulties in a playful way, encouraging learning and promoting empathy.
In addition to this illustrated book, I created additional artwork for supporting materials that complement and elaborate on the techniques for treatment. These include emotional cards to help patients recognize their feelings and cards featuring techniques for emotional control and balance.
Another unique element of this project was the creation of a paper remote control, designed with folds that form a box shaped like a remote. In the story, Otto uses this remote control to help manage his reactions and emotions. This playful object serves as an educational tool in ADHD treatment, offering an interactive and fun way for patients to learn how to control their actions and reactions effectively.
The combination of illustrations, engaging characters, and interactive resources was designed to support treatment in an engaging and effective way, providing new learning opportunities and emotional regulation tools for children with ADHD.
