The Origins of Paper Airplanes:
A recent Georgetown University study cites a significant increase in memory with the use of music in a presentation, and a University of South Wales study suggests that engaging the child in their treatment via visual/interactive methods can reduce his or her distress in a medical procedure. Paper Airplanes incorporates inspiring music and strong visuals as an innovative way to capture children's attention and offer tools that may give an understanding and language to their experience.
The foundation of The Paper Airplanes Project is a 30-minute DVD produced in an entertaining live action/animation format with empowering messages delivered through action, dialogue and song. This DVD is intended for use in a therapeutic setting with trained staff. All subsequent products are based on the premise, content and characters in the Paper Airplanes DVD.
