The collaboration with the Professional Center Pomurje and my mentor Catharine Rollier brought up two significant books for my Master's Thesis. The theoretical part explaining the background and the practical part – a prototype of a scented book for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and also typically developed children. This book was carefully developed, considering numerous aspects like illustrations, format, rhyme, rhythm and repetitions, learning elements and stimulations of the olfactory system, which are showing significant developmental improvements in children with ASD.
