Abstract
A remotely activated sensory stimulation device comprised of a case, a tactile stimulatory means, a receiving unit, a transmitting unit and a controller. The amplitude and frequency of the tactile stimulation is adjustable to provide different prompts or to alter the prompt. The device is further camouflaged with a second functionality to eliminate any social stigma. The device is useful for teaching individuals with a variety of learning disorders including Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Claims16
A programmable sensory stimulation device for treating and training a user having a learning or behavioral disability worn by a user at a point of contact, the device comprising:
- a case;
- a tactile stimulation apparatus coupled to said case, said tactile simulation apparatus comprising one or more vibrating devices producing adjustable vibrational stimuli for producing tactile stimulation of the user at the point of contact with said case;
- a controller for activating said tactile stimulation apparatus and adjusting the frequency and amplitude of the vibrations of the vibrational stimuli in response to the user's behavioral response;
- a receiver coupled to said controller, said receiver enables remote activation of said
- wherein tactile stimulation of the vibrational stimuli is provided to the user at the point of contact of said case.
A method of instruction of a disabled individual comprising
- providing a sensory simulation device to the said individual, said tactile simulation device comprising:
- a case;
- a tactile stimulation apparatus coupled to said case, said tactile simulation apparatus comprising one or more vibrating devices producing adjustable vibrational stimuli for producing tactile stimulation of the user at the point of contact with said case;
- a controller for activating said tactile stimulation apparatus and adjusting the frequency and amplitude of the vibrations of the vibrational stimuli in response to the user's behavioral response;
- a receiver coupled to said controller, said receiver enables remote activation of said controller;
- and adjusting the frequency and amplitude of the vibrations of the vibrational stimuli in response to the individual's behavioral response.
