Abstract:

The child mobility platform consists of designing and prototyping a vehicle for these children with disabilities between the ages of zero and three years old, so that they can develop motor skills through self-actuated propulsion. This needs to be done safely but not without a source of consequence for the child. A child should be in no danger of hurting themselves, with emergency shut offs controlled by the supervising adult. While no real harm will occur to the child there must be some form of consequence for negative actions so that the child learns from the experience. The resulting effect of this project would be the creation of an effective physical therapy device that is lower cost and accessible to a wide demographic, that helps develop a child’s motor skills for later in life.
