Innovative Painting Therapy for Individuals with Disabilities: ADEC's Hand-Over-Hand Solution

DESCRIPTION

This paper explores an innovative approach to art therapy designed for individuals with developmental and physical disabilities, focusing on ADEC's hand-over-hand painting therapy. Through the integration of user-friendly technology like joysticks, LED indicators, and LCD messages, the proposed system enables greater autonomy in creative expression. The system utilizes T-Slot frames controlled by Arduino and incorporates advanced paint dispensing methods, ensuring a therapeutic and engaging experience for users.
