Autism spectrum is a unique mindset a person displays. About one in 100 children has been affected by this spectrum. The autism children ‘s communication process is unique and personal to the non-verbal communicator. For giving the autistic children mental support about communication and the chance of encouraging joint engagement, I design a geometric blocks toolkit names as Flora. It provides an opportunity for children with autism to explore their surroundings and recreate their own understanding of the nature. Flora builds links in colours and geometric shapes so that children can develop a more three-dimensional understanding of the world.

Flora is designed for providing mental support of ASD children. It is a geometric blocks toy-kit which provides an opportunity for children with autism to explore their surroundings and recreate their own understanding of the nature.

Flora, a toy-kit include three components

Flora has three components, colour scanner card, the main platform and the block collection drawer.
When the user go outside, they can take the colour scanner out to record the beautiful colour they like.
The main platform can read the colour information as the user insert the card into it. User can put the block on the circular screen to wait for the block changing its colour.

Flora has one drawer and 27 blocks inside. The block are designer based on the simple geometric shapes. It can provide a great creating space for the users to build their image and their view.
