DEVICE THAT IMPROVES EYE CONTACT

Abstract

The device's mechanism is based on improving eye contact by integrating its basic components—light, sound, and vibration—through "glasses." The first part of the device, the "glasses," will be used by the speaker (e.g., parent / caregiver) and connected to the vibration-generating motor, which is the second device placed on the child's body. This device is suitable for use in children with autism, severe forms of dysphasia, selective mutism, introverted children, children with a hyposensitive profile, and children who spend long periods in front of screens, to improve sensory development. The aim of the device is to increase eye contact in children with underdeveloped eye contact, improve general communication, enhance the child's relationship with the environment, and increase the child's biological response (biofeedback).

1 TARIFF DEVICE THAT IMPROVES EYE CONTACT Invention area This device is for the rehabilitation of Sensory Development Disorders 5 It is a helpful tool for children who have difficulty developing eye contact. It is geared towards health, sports, and leisure activities, usually in daily life. It belongs to the field of human needs: Devices that stimulate the senses. including helping people with disabilities or difficulties Devices for making. The invention has an international patent. 10 According to its classification, the label it can receive is A61H 39 / 00. Background of the Invention Eye contact is fundamental to communication and social interaction. The therapist's... in interaction with the patient (mostly 15 who have poor attention span) (They are children), making eye contact is very important. With eye contact... Before starting to work / play, patients (children) work / play in a way that will motivate the person to see the therapist. It is important to design the environment in a fun way. Eye contact is one of the most important aspects of communication in general, as well as language communication. Eye contact is one of the important ways a child communicates linguistically (intentionally). Is it at that stage or is it still in the pre-linguistic (pre-intentional) stage? It can affect the outcome. For this to happen, only A+B is needed. According to the principle, making direct eye contact (the child looks at the parent) not only, but also component C - of a particular interest (this is a 25 It is also very important to include an object (which could be food, etc.). An ideal situation for a child's early communication is when the child interacts with an object and group / multiple eye contact, followed by looking at the parent / therapist. 2 It is the time we establish it; that is, when A+B+C happens. This is (A) child + (B) a communication where the parent / therapist is + (C) the object of interest. It is a combination. Recently, children have been making limited eye contact. they tend to, and this is in the expected development of communication. It has been observed that it causes difficulties. The device that is the subject of the invention, eye 5 It aims to develop the theme and visual integration of light. (seeing the speaker's eyes), tactile vibration integration (to encourage eye contact and communication) and based on auditory integration (hearing the speaker's voice) It can be implemented as part of the process. 10 State of the Art Based on current scientific knowledge, the development of this device during this time, in situations where this ability is impaired, eye contact professional literature on devices that promote development and 15 Market research has been taken into consideration. Sufficient eye contact. for its underdeveloped stimulation, facilitating its establishment Systems have come into play. Historically, visual (light), integration of tactile (vibration) and auditory (sound) methods into verbal methods This has been the subject of discussion. In addition, conditional 20 in the design of this device. Current knowledge regarding the physiology of reflexes is also taken into consideration. It has been received. Therefore, Kodžopeljić and Pekić (2017: 28) suggest that innate but It also claims the following about learned / conditioned reflexes: It states: A person is born into the world equipped with many reflexes. 25 Income, and each of these is activated in a specific situation. For example, when someone talks to us, we reflexively move our hands. We don't wave our hands, we turn towards the source of the sound because waving our hands means running away. We are specific in our response to painful and unpleasant stimuli, It's an innate reaction. Turning our heads, seeing a 30 around us... 3 an unexpected sound signal indicating that something is happening It is a specific, innate response. It exhibits the characteristics listed above. Any reflex that one possesses is called an unconditioned reflex. However, reflex reactions can be learned, or rather... They are malleable, which is why we call them conditioned reflexes. 5 How reflexes can be learned or conditioned Regarding pathways, Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov studied dogs. He explained this in his famous experiments. A higher level. some sensory and psychomotor activities and a new activity So we see that integrating eye contact is necessary. This 10 When activities are not integrated spontaneously (which is ideal), They need to be encouraged through learning via conditioning. This In this case, light and tactile stimuli (vibration), the child's voice (to) perceive (the speech) and thus form the basis of interpersonal communication. 15 as a tool to help him / her make (practice) eye contact This will be the case. Therapists working with these methods will see that patients They use different ways to activate reflexes. This Therapists using these methods activate reflexes in patients. They use various techniques to convey it. Manual communication while speaking. They can use a light source that they have activated or 20 tactile stimuli with objects that will attract the patient's attention They can combine them. Utility model application number CN211935597U concerns the ability to pay attention. to treat children / patients with a reduced range of diseases and visual and auditory stimuli for exercise purposes 25 It is based on a combination. However, during the therapist's conversation... simultaneous activation of two additional stimulus sources A solution containing this is not yet known to the inventor.
