APPROACHING BEHAVIOUR TREATMENT ON A PLAYSET FURNITURE

Abstract

Good Dino is a concept that develops playset furniture to functions as educational equipment with storages, playground, and space decoration. The concept was approached through behaviour control to suggest kids keeping their things (like toys and equipment) and playing the slide as a reward. The Dino approach is recognised as a behavioural treatment for children who may have problems with attention span, following instruction, making careless mistakes, inattentive and hyperactive. Emotional Design concept from Interaction Design was adapted to conceptualise the approach. Referring to Don Norman’s emotional design concept, there is a need to have a good interaction between human and product. Three levels of Emotional Design by Don Norman are i) Visceral, ii) Behavioural, and iii) Reflective. This paper describes each level of the design concept that demonstrates the interaction between human and product.
