Abstract
This innovative product integrates a Montessoriinspired physical book with a QR-linked digital EPUB to support children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through multisensory and interactive design learning. The physical book includes hands-on activities such as tracing, matching, and flip-and-reveal pages that foster fine motor skills, sensory engagement, and early learning. The digital design EPUB, accessed via a QR code, enhances the experience with educational materials, vivid visuals, short videos, and simple explanations of autism-related topics like brain development, stimming, communication differences, and sensory sensitivity designed to be understood by both children and adults. The idea was inspired by the increasing demand for inclusive and accessible educational tools. It combines the Montessori method, which emphasizes independent and practical learning, with digital technology to meet the structured and visual preferences of many autistic children. The book uses calming patterns and sensory friendly materials to reduce overstimulation while promoting engagement. This innovation brings meaningful educational benefits by supporting inclusive classrooms and helping children develop cognitive, emotional, and motor skills. It strengthens parent-child and teacher-student interactions by offering accessible, user-friendly resources. The digital content allows for repeated learning, which is particularly helpful for children who thrive on routine and visual reinforcement. From a commercial perspective, the product is cost-efficient and highly adaptable for different environments including homes, schools, therapy centres, and learning kits. With rising global awareness of autism and inclusive education, it has strong market appeal and profitability. It can be marketed through therapy programs, online platforms, bookstores, and educational distributors, offering significant growth opportunities locally and internationally.
