for disable Children.

 Literature Review for the Project. 

Main Project Idea.

            Our main target audience is the children with genetic conditions which causes delays in physical and intellectual development. Our final product is a toy car which can identify the objects around it when it s moving and clearly pronounced its name with help of cloud base application and mobile app.

            Build a toy which can really helpful to develop the genetic neuron disabilities by reading and hearing the names of the things around them is our purpose of final outcome.

Key ideas drawn from a range of sources and described with and appropriate level of detail.

            Children with Down syndrome are usually smaller, and their physical and mental developments are slower compared to children who are unaffected. The majority of children with Down syndrome have mild to moderate intellectual disability. However while some show no sign of having an intellectual disability others may have severe intellectual disability.

            Although individuals with Down syndrome have distinct physical characteristics, generally they are more similar to the average person in the community than they are different.

            Not every child with Down syndrome has all the characteristics; some may only have a few, and others may show most of the signs of Down syndrome. Some of the physical features in children include flattening of the back of the head, slanting of the eyelids, small skin folds at the inner corner of the eyes, depressed nasal bridge, slightly smaller ears, small mouth, decreased muscle tone, loose ligaments, and small hands and feet. About fifty percent of all children have one line across the palm, and there is often a gap between the first and second toes.

            An increasing number of children with Down syndrome are being diagnosed as also having autism or autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). Research is exploring the prevalence and the characteristics of autism and autistic spectrum disorders in people with Down syndrome, and informing more reliable diagnosis. More research is needed to better understand these dual diagnoses and to identify effective ways to support development and learning for these children.  

           

            There have been a number of recent studies reporting varying rates of autism among children with Down syndrome possibly because of different diagnostic measures and different numbers of children in the studies. These suggest that about 16-19% of children with Down syndrome also have ASD and some 8-9% have autism, although some indicate higher rates. 

            Diagnosis of ASD is based on symptoms in three domains: social impairments, communication impairments and repetitive behaviors and should only be carried out by experienced clinicians using standardized assessments.

            A recent UK study with the largest sample of children with Down syndrome and ASD evaluated to date (183 participants) illustrates this. On the Reciprocal Social Interaction Domain, children with Down syndrome and ASD showed less impairment in eye gaze, social smiling, shared enjoyment, offering comfort, social overtures and response to other children 's social approaches.

            Research suggests that parents and practitioners should make full use of the children' s social strengths and strengths in imitation and gesture to develop their social interaction and communication skills in the early years. 

            By taking care of all of this conditions and comparisons we planed to develop our toy to full fill such a important need of those children. Letting them to see the object when the car interacting with the object by hitting the object their mind will sharply identify what they dealing with. Meanwhile by the car is pronouncing the name of the object clearly with its owns speakers child will properly identify the incident (how should we called the object).

            When child is play with this toy in his house, with those speaking and hitting activity child will clearly memories to identify the object with there correct names. So this scenario will really helpful to get to know about usual objects which around them.

Some Products already in the market for those children .  

            Children with special needs or learning difficulties often have difficulties with communication. Some children require speech and language therapy to improve, and others need greater intervention and perhaps the addition of some form of communication system or device.

            However, no matter what the level of communication difficulty, there are many ways to help most children to communicate more effectively. Even children with profound difficulties have the potential to increase their levels of communication, allowing them to initiate, respond and make choices.  

            In our project with the connection between the device and the mobile app, Parents of the child can interact with the device and control the device by asking the questions and making the selections after the child play with the toy several times. Because when the child had some image in their mind after play with the toy, about names of the objects and how to pronounce & identify them, parents can make the toy to speak for asking the questions like “what is this object” right after the toy is hit the same object in several times.  

           

            Auditory Sensory Box  

            The fantastic Auditory Sensory Tub will encourage participation and movement through to hand to eye co-ordination and allow your child to develop and build communication skills through sensory play time.

            This will improve the identification of correct objects; for which purpose supposed to have which object. And the creativity of new tasks by using any of those objects.

            26 pack of Alpha Bean bags and create.

            These bean bags are great for helping children learn the alphabet and ideal for playing a wide range of early literacy, letter and phonics games.

            This similar product let the child touch and select the correct letters to make meaningful words. This will provide the child to make the selections and prepare meaningful words by his own thoughts.

Positional Words Resource Box

            A superb hands-on resource box to help children to recognize and understand prepositions. It is particularly visual and reinforcing as the manipulative props are moved into each position.

Contains 4 pairs of manipulative s and 24 cards and instructions. Children just follow the instructions to move the objects into place, then flip the cards over to check their work.

            Talk about Things out side

            This set of 40 cards teaches everyday nouns but focuses on things found outdoors - farm animals, wild animals, transport and places we go.

            This is a flexible resource that can be used for sorting, classifying and to pre- teach vocabulary for topics such as homes and buildings, the world around us and habitats.

             Each set includes 40 clear photographic cards and activity cards. A free CD-ROM is also included in each pack containing all images which can be easily loaded onto computers and interactive whiteboards, plus useful assessment checklists.

            This product will targeting the interaction of seeing the image and read the word same time to memorize those words easily.

            Compering to above similar products, which are already in the industry we thought our product will be very useful to those disabilities children to improve their hearing and talking skills.

            Those every product is targeting to improve the vocabulary pronunciation, logical selections and matching. So our toy car is providing all of this hearing and talking therapy s, do the selections from the parents feedback s with fun.

            To do so cloud base server application of out product will be fully maintained and up to date when toy car finding the new objects and download the correct words, pictures and pronunciations to that particular object from the cloud server and the internet.
