Advancements in low-cost computing and electronics have created major opportunities in Accessible Technology for individuals with disabilities. Assistive Technology is especially important to introduce to children with disabilities at a young age, as it can have a significant impact on their learning ability.
This thesis presents a device and interaction model for children with vision and speech impairments. The device is a Speech Generating Device that allows children to distinguish between inputs that speak a configurable set of words, as well as control media on connected Bluetooth devices. The device is designed to facilitate easy interaction for use in early childhood education settings, including special needs classrooms and home environments. The device also expands on existing technology by facilitating easy configuration with a mobile and web application. |
