linking the design for play therapy to Neuroscience

I have the program, I have the research basing on children, brain and abilities and after having interviews and meeting with the therapists and medical staff I started to formulate the connections between these studies.

So, first: what is important in a play therapy?

What do we want the children to achieve here? and which behaviors to be supported which to be eliminated or decreased?

1. Free schedule of play therapy, Children are free to choose which activities they want to join

*How we can orient them to find/learn their interests? *How a child can feel encouraged to go around and discover him/herself? *How they can remember places?

= Wayfinding + Visual connections + Memory

2. Learning and training, Classrooms and library, where children are having the education that they are missing in normal routine. They are not in a healthy condition, maybe they are suffering from a pain, maybe they have concentration difficulty with the medications and treatments they are having, which possibly makes them hard to  keep their attention.

*How can we keep their focus on the task? *How can their learning ability can be increased?

=Concentration + Environmental stimuli

3. Therapies referring to sense, or other activities requiring attention, and having a sensitive approach, should not be distracted to keep the effect

*How can the environment eliminate distractions and provide calm environment?

= Environmental enrichment + Relaxation

4. Families, friends, children

*How to provide a pleasant stay/visit that provides a relaxed environment *How can they have privacy?

=Eliminate stressor + Relaxation + Nature

And I came to a conclusion of a rough draft how can the connections can be emphasized (later the design  will be blending these with architecture to form the product. )
