Abstract


This paper outlines the methodological framework of a research study to be conducted at Explora, the Children's Museum of Rome, which aims to explore how multisensory experiences can enhance children's emotional awareness. The experimental group will undergo a program designed to promote body schema development and interaction with various sensory channels. Following this, both the experimental and control groups will receive an intervention implemented using an interactive projector, aimed at enhancing their ability to recognize emotions. The use of the NEPSY and TEC tools will enable the assessment of any differences between the two compared groups.
