The master's thesis "Olek – A scented book for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder" in Communication Design from Maruša Puhek has been awarded with the C2A Creative Communication Award 2019 in the category Children Books.
Maruša Puhek: "The collaboration with the Professional Center Pomurje and my mentor Catharine Rollier, brought up two significant books for my Master's Thesis. The theoretical part explaining the background and the practical part – a prototype of a scented book for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and also typically developed children. This book was carefully developed, considering numerous aspects like illustrations, format, rhyme, rhythm and repetitions, learning elements and stimulations of the olfactory system, which are showing significant developmental improvements in children with ASD."
