For children with special difficulties in thinking and cognition, traditional intervention methods are often single-dimensional. This project attempts to break disciplinary boundaries and creatively integrate Luban fasteners, a traditional Chinese educational toy, with AI-assisted voice dialogue, painting, clay modeling and other visual arts to form a three-dimensional integrated intervention training program of "traditional educational tools - intelligent interactive technology - expressive art therapy". The project was carried out in a local children's welfare institute with 12 special children for a 4-week training period. Through pre-post comparison and process observation, it was found that compared with peers who only watched animations and played freely, children who received the integrated training had better attention span, work organization and basic logical thinking. We found that mathematical games act as a solid framework for thinking, AI dialogue serves as a patient thinking navigator, and artistic creation becomes a "safe outlet" for emotions and ideas - the three are not simply superimposed, but promote each other, producing an effect of 1+1+1>3.References
