Benefits of technology

This patent talks about an automated system that helps children with language delays acquire full syntotic language through interacting with visual objects on a computer screen. The system uses a unique application that flexibly delivers a set curriculum of automated lessons based on research about childhood development. It monitors and analyzes the child's progress on a daily basis and adaptively adjusts the difficulty of the exercises to be just one small step away from the child's level. The system also includes specially designed exercises to improve the child's ability to integrate multiple cues. This training transfers over time to the acquisition of a full syntotic language, and ultimately to the individual's ability to engage with the world and lead a productive, independent life. The patent also mentions that the system can be used for improving the cognitive function of users with various disabilities.

Problems solved by technology

The software adaptively adjusts the difficulty of the exercises to be just one small step away from the child's level (not too easy and not too difficult).

Embodiment Construction

[0040]There is a broad consensus that early intervention has the greatest chance of positive impact on an individual with ASD. One embodiment is a computerized brain-training program for toddlers and preschoolers to change their developmental trajectory including game-like exercises that train a child to notice and respond to multiple cues. This ability is typically impaired in individuals with autism, leading to what is commonly described as stimulus overselectivity, or tunnel vision. Improving the capacity to discern and to respond to multiple cues reduces stimulus overselectivity subsequently leading to vast improvements in general learning. Regular, prolonged practice with such exercises results not only in a greater ability to attend to multiple cues, but also in vast improvements in transfer tasks measuring visuospatial as well as communicative skills. This can be used to reduce the gap between the amount of therapy recommended for children with ASD and the amount they actuall...

Abstract

An early intervention application that flexibly delivers a set curriculum of automated lessons based on research about childhood development. The software also has the ability to monitor and analyze the child's progress on a daily basis. It contains exercises specially designed to improve a child's ability to integrate multiple cues. Such training has been shown to transfer, over time, to the acquisition of a full syntactic language, and ultimately to the individual's ability to engage with the world and lead a productive, independent life.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit under 35 USC 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Applications No. 62 / 125,261, filed on Jan. 20, 2015, and No. 62 / 125,262, filed on Jan. 20, 2015, and is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 15 / 002,393, filed Jan. 20, 2016, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The Centers for Disease Control estimates that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects 1 in 68 children. Lifelong treatment of a single child with ASD costs society an estimated $3 million, and more often than not does little to help the child acquire a full syntactic language.[0003]The failure to provide adequate early intervention services ends up costing society (USA) an estimated $126 billion per year. Recently, there has been some incredibly exciting and promising research in the field of early autism screening and treatment. ASD is usually diagnosed no earlier than age 2, though several groups have demonstra...
