Wama drama therapy

Concept.

Children wear Wama drama therapy for group drama activities and reduce the spread and exposure of pathogens during group activities. The psychotherapist conducts dramatic projection interaction therapy with children through Wama drama therapy to guide children with autism and other psychological conditions to reflect their feelings in the role play.

Wama drama therapy has transparent electronic paper for AR role display and internal and external clean layers for quick cleaning, and the voice changer allows children to be someone else. Children can also create unique characters by drawing by hand directly on the mask or drawing on the Wama drama therapy APP for art therapy. They can share their creations with other children via cellphone.

Background.

Problem01. Expressing psychological trauma is very difficult for children.

It is very difficult for children who have experienced significant psychological trauma to describe how they feel, and secondary victimization may happen in the process, especially to children with autism, difficulty in expressing themselves or conducting dialogues, or mental illness.

Problem02. Difficulties in training children's drama therapists and lack of complementary therapeutic tools.

The world is faced with the problems of insufficiency of professional children's drama therapists, difficulties in training talents and inadequate licensing systems. During and after the training process, there is a lack of therapeutic aids that can be flexibly adjusted to the different mental illnesses of children.

Problem03. Children's group interactions cause the spread of infectious diseases.

Children's interactions are prone to the spread of infectious diseases due to excessive contact. However, limiting children's interaction with their peers during their formative years likely leads to future psychological problems, such as social panic and communication difficulties.

Four modes of therapy.

A. Drama activities and drama therapy model

Children build relationships with other members in a relaxed and fun way, feel safe and relaxed in the environmental space, and begin to explore emotional and interpersonal issues to close the "psychological gap". In the meantime, parents and psychotherapists get to know children's psychological condition and provide children with moral support.

B. Group communication and interaction mode

Wama drama therapy designs different social scenarios for children to participate and learn through role-playing and enhance interaction and feedback with their peers. Children take advantage of the features of drama games to bring out their own self-healing power, reflect their feelings in the roles, express their inner emotions, and enable their personality to develop normally.

C. Pandemic prevention mode

Children are at high risk of viral infections during group activities. Children can wear Wama drama therapy to protect themselves from droplet infections. The mask can be sterilized for heightened safety of the next use.

D. Graffiti interaction and art therapy mode

Children can use special drawing pens and other media to paint on the outer layer of the transparent display panel and help each other draw the masks they have in mind. The interactive mask drawing provides a platform for children to convey feelings and communicate with others.

Materials and technology.

1.Transparent electronic paper flexible display

Ultra-thin, transparent, and energy-saving, it ensures clear display in the sunlight or a bright environment and does not block the view of children at the back when the display is on.

2.Clean layer inside and outside the display

Easy to wipe clean, special drawing pens for character creation, quick disinfection to eliminate the residue of pathogens.

3.Real-time voice-changing sensor

Able to change the frequency of the input sound, and in turn change the tone and the pitch of the sound, so that the output sound is perceptually different from the original sound. The input voice can be changed to the voice of someone of different age or gender.
