Special Purpose Machine to Improve Eye-Hand Coordination for Special Children

Medical

Irrespective of physical and mental situation every child must get an opportunity to learn alongside playing. Unfortunately this does not holds good in case of children with special need. The actual challenge comes into picture during the initial phase of learning. In most of the cases the incorporated traditional methods fails to get the attention of the child throughout the therapy session and they are quite human resource intensive. Teaching the special children within stipulated time with more efficiency and interactive manner with precise and modeled results is quite a challenge in itself. Analyzing all the above problems the design has been proposed which can be used to train and enhance gross motor skills, eye-hand coordination and is an attention seeking device. The design houses a powerful microcontroller unit which handles complex algorithms and tasks with highest efficiency and precision. This design has visual, audio as well as a tactile (vibration) feedback associated with individual tasks to make every task interesting and interactive for the children. The proposed design is light-weight, highly durable and a well-built with all the safety protections along with the precautions.
