Language and speech
Language development consists of, vocabulary, and syntax.
Speech development is divided into two parts–the first being consonants and sounds and the second, word structure composed of different syllables.
The longer the word, the harder it is to pronounce.
When a child receives a diagnosis, they are assigned a number of treatments with a speech therapist which is accomplished once a week at a communication clinic.
Design process
The design inspiration from anthroposophical study–
Does not determine the child‘s imagination
A simple toy, built with general outlines, activates the child’s imagination
The mechanical mechanism is visible to the child and the process of cause and effect is not left in the possession of “magic”
