Abstract
A method of using a kit includes placing at least one sensor detector on at least one mouth part of the user; pronouncing each of at least one letter and/or each of at least one word by the user; a first detection step of detecting each of at least one motion of each of the at least one mouth part via each of the at least one sensor detector; a first determination step of determining if the detected each of the at least one motion of each of the at least one mouth part correspond to each of at least one predetermined correct motion of each of the at least one mouth part; and displaying the detected each of the at least one motion of each of the at least one mouth part in real-time on a touch screen display interface.
Claims20
A kit comprising:
- at least one sensor detector configured to be placed on at least one mouth part of a user;
- wherein the at least one sensor detector comprises:
- a first sensor detector configured to be placed on an upper lip of the user;
- a second sensor detector configured to be placed on a lower lip of the user;
- a third sensor detector configured to be placed on upper teeth of the user;
- a fourth sensor detector configured to be placed on lower teeth of the user;
- and
- a fifth sensor detector configured to be placed on a tongue of the user;
- and
- a language training device comprising:
- at least one sensor inlet port, wherein each of the at least one sensor inlet port is in communication with one of each of the at least one sensor detector, respectively;
- a controller in communication with each of the at least one sensor detector via each of the at least one respective sensor inlet port, wherein the controller is configured to separately detect each of at least one motion of each of the at least one mouth part via each of the at least one sensor detector and to separately determine if the detected each of the at least one motion of each of the at least one mouth part correspond to each of at least one predetermined correct motion of each of the at least one mouth part;
- at least one sensor indicator in communication with the controller;
- and
- a touch screen display interface in communication with the controller and configured to display the detected each of the at least one motion of each of the at least one mouth part in real-time,
- wherein the at least one motion of each of the at least one mouth part corresponds to an oral motor skill that produces a speech sound, and
- wherein the at least one predetermined correct motion of each of the at least one mouth part corresponds to an oral motor skill that produces a correct speech sound in a language.
