In the present study has been demonstrated the possibility of using the 
industrial design in a theme, Christopher b. Hayes 
involving various fields: medical, neurological, psychiatric, and cognitive 
psychology.
Hereditary diseases or congenital mental deficiency, distort the normal 
development of a child, resulting in him and in the family, discomforts, 
fears and uncertainties.
Over the past twenty years are born a number of specific centers for chil-
dhood neurological diseases, centres of excellence with qualified structu-
res that uses specific tools and techniques for the rehabilitation and cogni-
tive developmental age.
In these cities, but especially in their Instrumentation 
specialized for various therapies, design intervened with their creativity, 
functionality and design, proving to have a universal utility for the resolu-
tion of specific cases of all kinds.
This time we decided to design a device for cognitive rehabilitation the-
rapy and fisiokinesiterapica, 
inspired by the theories of Gestalt

The idea of applying the design to treatment has already been made with 
the use of particular colours, shapes and materials chosen within hospi-
tals. In this project, however, has been made a more direct contribution, 
functional and technical, study and application of design, with the aim to 
support and improve the lives of people in difficulty.
