Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of autism rehabilitation training, and in particular to an oral muscle auxiliary training device for autistic children. Background Art

[0002] Autism in children is a subtype of pervasive developmental disorder, which is more common in males and begins in infancy. The prevalence of the disease is 3-4 / 10,000. However, reports in recent years have shown an increasing trend. There is no national epidemiological survey data on autism in China, and only some regions have made relevant reports. For example, in 2010, the prevalence of autism in Guangdong was 0.67%, and in Shenzhen it was as high as 1.32%. Education and training are the most effective and main treatment methods to promote the language development of children, improve social interaction skills, and master basic living and learning skills. At present, drug treatment cannot change the course of autism or treat core symptoms, but it can improve some emotions and behaviors of children.

[0003] Autism is mainly manifested by varying degrees of speech development disorders, interpersonal communication disorders, narrow interests and stereotyped behaviors. Language function and communication disorders are the main characteristics of most children with autism. Epidemiological research results show that about 50% of children have language communication disorders throughout their lives and can hardly communicate using language. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to take effective measures to actively intervene early and improve the language function development level and communication ability of children. In the current context of the increasing incidence of autism, it can effectively improve the social adaptability of children and reduce the burden on families and society.

[0004] Oral sensory abnormalities can cause autistic children to lack proprioception of their own articulation organs, making it impossible to accurately control the muscles of various parts to pronounce words, resulting in abnormal speech and intonation and insufficient expression ability. Based on the theoretical basis of the oral, pharyngeal and jaw physiological mechanism, systematic sensory and motor training of the muscles of the mouth, lips, tongue and throat of children can effectively improve the pronunciation level and expression ability of children.
