About Nutrient Dispositivo de asistencia para terapia del habla
Nutrient es un conjunto de dispositivos de asistencia diseñados para apoyar la terapia del habla en niños con trastornos de la articulación. El conjunto incluye cuatro formas inspiradas en verduras. La zanahoria ejercita la mordida y la musculatura oral. La col china ejercita los músculos de los labios. El maíz ejercita los músculos de la lengua. La vaina de guisantes ejercita el control del flujo de aire. Cada pieza está fabricada en silicona de grado alimentario y plástico ABS de grado alimentario. Los colores vivos y las formas familiares sustituyen el aspecto frío de los productos de asistencia habituales. Los dispositivos pueden utilizarse tanto en las sesiones de terapia como en casa.

- Unique Properties
- According to our research, we found that there is an increasing number of children in Taiwan suffering from Articulation Disorders. Therefore, our team has designed an assistive device that can assist with the training and correction of this phenomenon. Using the shape of fruits and vegetables as the foundation and applying color and material properties to transform the traditional cold feeling of assistive products into a vibrant and interesting image.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Materials: Carrot Assistive Device: food grade silicone, food grade ABS plastic, Chinese cabbage Assistive Device: food grade silicone, food grade ABS plastic, Corn Assistive Device: food grade silicone, food grade ABS plastic, Pea pods Assistive Device: food grade silicone, food grade ABS plastic. Size(mm): Carrot Assistive Device: length 65*width 65*height 125, Chinese cabbage Assistive Device: length 60*width 60*height 115, Corn Assistive Device: length 60*width 60*height 110, Pea pods Assistive Device: length 150*width 50*height 50

- Production Technology
- Materials: food grade silicone, food grade ABS plastic , Technic: CNC milling, gloss paint, Surface contact: baking paint uses plain glass , partial matte.
- Design Challenge
- As both Articulation Disorders and speech therapy are specialized fields, the team collected various data before deciding to start working on this topic. During the process, we spoke with several Speech-Language Pathologists. There were many issues to consider, including how to arouse children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, whether the assistive device is well developed, and whether it meets the standards, as well as the material, shape, color, and mechanism. The team went through many trials and revisions, and with the cooperation of the Speech-Language Pathologists and the supervisor, we were able to complete this product research together.
- Research
- The products are designed through interviews with professional Speech-Language Pathologists to make the design of the product more accurate and to improve the efficiency of correction for children with Articulation Disorders. The research focuses on the training of oral movements and coordination, and the design and intervention of the assistive device can be used by children for training in therapy classes and at home.
Main focuses of research:
1. The appearance of the assistive device should attract children's attention.
2. The training of the assistive device should be gradual and easy to differentiate.
3. The training and counseling process needs to provide feedback to the child.
4. The assistive device should be interactive with the child.
Our design changed the traditional model of using assistive devices and puts the child's perspective as the starting point. In the process of using the interactive mode, we hope to bring children a variety of feedback. - Inspiration
- The prevalence of Articulation Disorders in children in Taiwan is around 6-10%, and this percentage is "increasing year by year".If they are not corrected during the crucial golden years of treatment (4-6 years old), they may remain with the child for the rest of his or her life. Taiwan has a severe shortage of medical resources for Articulation Disorders, a shortage of Speech-Language Pathologists, and a lack of assistive devices in the market for correction of Articulation Disorders.
- Project Duration
- The project was started from January 2020, and was completed in Taoyuan,Taiwan in March 2021.
- Operation Flow
- 1.Carrot Assistive Device - An Assistive Device for Articulation Disorders that mainly trains the occlusion and oral muscles.
2.Chinese cabbage Assistive Device - An Assistive Device for Articulation Disorders that mainly trains the lip muscles.
3.Corn Assistive Device - An Assistive Device for Articulation Disorders that mainly trains the muscles of the tongue.
4.Pea pods Assistive Device - An Assistive Device for Articulation Disorders that mainly train airflow control. - Patents
