FunandFunction.com Kids With Special Needs Deserve the Best! Every Child Counts!
Idea Description
Every child counts,and the 6 million+ American kids with special needs deserve to get help and feel and look good too!For decades,families,schools,and pediatric therapists have been forced to pay high prices and tolerate uneven product quality since they are a captive audience in a small marketplace.Fun and Function is demonstrating a whole new way of doing business,by offering AFFORDABLE and durable therapeutic toys, educational resources and clothing to facilitate each child's development.
Our therapists work with designers and children to create products that meet the distinctive needs of our customers.And,we unite communities with information-sharing on blogs,e-newsletter and research
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?

1.Design innovative products that help children with special needs to fulfill their potential.
2.Educate parents and caregivers of children with special needs via podcasts with practical guidance and tips
3. Increase empathy and understanding with thought provoking video blogs about what it feels like to be a child with special needs.

Hi; Your idea sounds good but what is a real world example that you can produce for real? I think there are plenty of ideas and even stores that have products that would fit the idea you are aiming for. Can you walk me through the process of one specific example going through your system model? Goood luck.
