Our research explores new forms of technology-enhanced interventions for children with Intellectual Disability (ID). The paper presents an innovative smart space called Magic K-Room, which has been designed in cooperation with ID specialists and provides multisensory stimuli exploiting full-body interaction with various kinds of smart objects and ambient features. Using brain signals acquired through a wearable EEG headset, the space is responsive to a particular child's levels of relaxation and attention, automatically adapting the stimuli to the child's state, and allows therapists to automatically collect a child's data for diagnosis purposes or to fine tune their therapy.
