This document provides information about designing a game for learning disabled children ages 3-5. It discusses researching learning disabilities and British Institute for Learning Development. The game design challenge is to change how a group thinks about something. The concept stage involves designing for edutainment, interaction through tangible objects, and aiding learning disabilities. A storyboard and concept stage details a tabletop puzzle strategy game to introduce math basics through collecting points and receiving feedback by completing exchanges and customizing objects.
