Maple’s Clinic Visit was developed to address the lack of relatable information given to children undergoing frequent medical appointments, leaving them unprepared. The book explains clinical procedures in a comforting way through the story of Maple, a teddy bear who needs orthotics to walk. Initially created for children with cerebral palsy, the book helps reduce anxiety by familiarizing them with medical visits. As part of a larger study, it highlights the importance of user-centered design in improving children's experiences in healthcare settings.
