A project for the fabrication of prototypes for wearables
I am seeking the prototyping of 3 tools, wearables, or something concrete, to support students with special needs in the classroom.
- (1888PressRelease) August 16, 2016 - The intent of this project is to have my concepts prototyped. I am at the concept stage with drawings and detailed plans. The entire amount I am requesting on Kickstarter will be invested in the prototyping of these products. I have been working with a product design firm to make this project a reality. I am committed to realizing this vision.
I have a set of three tools I am seeking to have prototyped, These tools are wearables, which support elementary-aged students with special needs. The special needs issues include, ADHD, Autism, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Learning Disabilities and other disabilities, as well.
The first one is an ear piece that delivers auditory cues, the second one is a wrist piece that delivers both tactile cues and visual cues, and the third one is a table piece that delivers both visual cues and auditory cues. The table piece has additional capabilities, as well. It has a desk top with icons: visual cues, ADHD goals, general goals, social skills training, non-verbal cues training, affirmations, encouragement, self-monitoring, research and parent resources.
There is an app to accompany Focused Fox that can be downloaded by the parent or educator in order to manipulate the table piece; mom, dad or the educator can turn the table piece on from the app. If the parent knows the class will be doing math from 2:00-2:30, the parent can turn on the table piece from his or her phone and manipulate it to set specific goals for their son or daughter.
The educator could have a set of my tools, Focused Fox, in their classroom to support special needs students. Several students could be helped concurrently through utilizing these 3 tools. My products, once prototyped, are something concrete that could be employed in the classroom to aid students with special needs.
I am personally excited about having these products prototyped, because there is nothing like them on the market. They are unique and they have the potential to become extremely popular. I know in my heart that students would benefit from Focused Fox. I have had very positive feedback from parents and educators, which has encouraged me to continue moving forward with this project. Just this morning I had a message on Facebook from a parent who indicated she would love to have a set of these tools for her son, who has Asperger's.
