Description
This interdisciplinary project, at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, focuses on creating art-educational material for children with cleft lip and/or palate. Through a creative process involving exploration, conceptualization, creation, review, and publication, phonetic, phonological, and socio-emotional needs were identified, emphasizing inclusion and self-esteem. Guided by a language therapist, the artistic creation comprised eleven ‘verse-tales’, illustrations, and songs, tailored to Peru's cultural context. The process concluded with the publication of an illustrated book and a therapeutic manual for adult mediators. It stands out for its comprehensive approach, interdisciplinary collaboration, and potential impact on the well-being and linguistic development of children.
