First Claim
1. A portable early learning sensory system comprising:
- a tactile learning component configured to stimulate a tactile response by the child;
a first caregiver assistance guide configured to provide an explanation to a caregiver regarding how to use the tactile learning component with the child to stimulate the tactile response of the child, said first caregiver assistance guide also including a first progression monitoring component that describes objective metrics by which the caregiver can compare an observed activity of the child with the tactile learning device against predetermined standards;
a visual learning component configured to stimulate a visual response by the child;
a second caregiver assistance guide configured to provide an explanation to the caregiver regarding how to use the visual learning component with the child to stimulate the visual response of the child, said second caregiver assistance guide also including a second progression monitoring component that describes objective metrics by which the caregiver can compare the observed activity of the child with the visual learning device against predetermined standards;
an auditory learning component configured to stimulate an auditory response by the child;
a third caregiver assistance guide configured to provide an explanation to the caregiver regarding how to use the auditory learning component with the child to stimulate the auditory response of the child, said third caregiver assistance guide also including a third progression monitoring component that describes objective metrics by which the caregiver can compare the observed activity of the child with the auditory learning device against predetermined standards; and
a portable enclosure configured to house the tactile leaning component, the visual learning component, the auditory learning component, the first caregiver assistance guide, the second caregiver assistance, and the third caregiver guide contained therein.
