Week 19: Design Challenge

Ms. Melissa Etzler, an occupational therapist who works with children with cerebral palsy, needs your help to design a toy. She wants to use the toy during therapy with children who have physical, sensory, or cognitive challenges. Therapy can improve their ability to carry out everyday activities and interact with their environment in a comfortable way.

In this problem, you will follow the design process to create a toy for Ms. Etzler to use for therapy with children with cerebral palsy.
