5. SIX THINKING HATS
• Red Hat – I still feel optimistic about this project because this is a cause I feels strongly
about it and I still feel it is completely feasible
• Yellow Hat – What’s been going well is the progress, conversation as well as good
cooperation from both the therapist and app programmer
• Black Hat – Compiling the database alone was far more daunting than a week. Fully
Understanding all aspect of fine motor therapy will take much longer than anticipated
• Green Hat – Perhaps we may want to focus the scope of the project to focus on one
aspect of fine motor therapy and analyze which aspect would benefit most from the app
• Blue Hat – because this project overlaps with my job, I’ve been using some observational
time at work to observe some motor therapies in action. I’ll continue to do this to
maximize time usage
