NID Students Create Playful Learning Tools for Children with Special Needs (CwSN)

Prabhat has had the privilege of engaging with students from the National Institute of Design (NID) over the years. Their visits bring fresh perspectives, creative problem-solving, and thoughtful designs aimed at making learning and play more inclusive for CwSN.

As part of their ongoing exploration of user-centered design, NID students spent time at Prabhat, observing and interacting with children to understand their interests, abilities, and ways of engagement. Their latest project resulted in a set of thoughtfully designed play tools that enhance accessibility while making playtime fun and meaningful.

This video captures their process—immersing themselves in the children’s world, refining their prototypes, and finally presenting the end products at the center. We appreciate their curiosity, innovation, and commitment to designing with empathy.
