ABSTRACT
Children with Special Needs (CSN) require learning media that support cognitive stimulation through engaging activities. This final project focuses on designing a puzzle-solving board game as a cognitive stimulation medium for Children with Special Needs at Little Tree. The purpose of this project is to design an educational medium that supports concentration, logical thinking, pattern recognition, and problem-solving skills through play-based learning. The design process employed observation, interviews, literature review, and documentation to identify users' needs. The project was carried out through three stages: pre-production, production, and post-production, including concept development, sketching, digital illustration, and the design of the main and supporting media. The final product consists of a game board, puzzle pieces, a guidebook, and packaging designed with simple illustrations, attractive colors, readable typography, and a structured layout. The designed puzzle-solving board game is expected to serve as an alternative learning medium that supports cognitive stimulation and provides a more interactive and enjoyable learning experience for Children with Special Needs at Little Tree.
