‘Arthur’ is a combination of our experiences of the benefits of music for people with cognizant challenges, such as dementia, learning difficulties and autism, combined with widely accepted advantages offered by ‘doll therapy’. The care and interaction with a comforting soft toy provides a path to unlocking strong maternal instincts or feelings of security, providing both activity and self worth, whilst the music increases awareness and interaction.
Arthur has been designed to be as simple as possible and his intended use is to be activated by friends family or carers, unburdening the user with this task.
Arthur only has one external control and that is to start and stop the music he has been preloaded with. The music has an automatic ‘shuffle’ mode which ensures that the playlist doesn’t always start from the same place. It is most important that the music loaded into Arthur has meaning to the user; this is easy to do and will produce by far the best results.
