Brief
Backstory:
On average, 9 out of 10 people with intellectual and development disabilities will experience some form of sexual assault in their lifetime.
Our job:
Provide education to give people living with Down syndrome knowledge and power over what’s right/wrong so they can navigate their choice with dignity.
Research
Sexual abuse:
Research indicates that children with disabilities are at least three times more likely to experience abuse compared to their non-disabled peers.

One-third of adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) have experienced sexual abuse. Those most at risk include institutionalized individuals, females, younger people, and those with more severe disabilities. Reporting abuse often leads to stigma and barriers, discouraging future disclosures.
Influence of Trust and Safety on Decision-Making Process:
Trust and safety are fundamental in the decision-making processes of individuals with IDD. A supportive environment where individuals feel safe and trusted encourages active participation in decision-making, leading to more autonomous and empowered individuals.

design Process
Before jumped into visual design, we spent couple weeks researching DS community. We collected data and reports of sexual harassment against DS people, and learned how their current sex education work.
We also had an interview with a Chinese intelligence disability association, and got to know how ID adults learn working skills and daily patterns.
After getting a deeper understanding of our users, we started to explore various design directions, and first settled with Lego + 3D book + VR concept.

Me and Liam tried to build some Lego 3D models with BrickLink Studio for the classroom scene and characters.

Finally, we decided to push on the board game idea, and built further design sketches, video storyboard, and game user flow.

VISual
Character Card & Action Card:
Players will pull a card from character and action card piles, and place both cards in the card reader. The transparent action card will be on top, and show the character performing certain action.
Character card: back & front
Action card: back & front
How the cards combine together
Special Card:
When stepping into special zone, players need to pull a card from the special card pile, which includes both reward and punishment.
Map and House 3D Design:
Each block represents a different scene, where the character action will take place. (e.g. the teacher is touching the child’s hand in the classroom)
