A Research-Backed Approach to
Self-Regulation
The Brooks Band was created to fill a critical gap in the support available for neurodiverse individuals, particularly children with autism and ADHD who struggle with voice modulation and self-regulation. Research consistently shows that real-time feedback, sensory interventions, and wearable technology can significantly improve self-awareness and behavioral adaptation.
This page presents key scientific studies that support the Brooks Band's approach and demonstrate why vibrational feedback and assistive technology can help children develop greater independence and confidence in their communication.
Vibrational Feedback and Behavioral Regulation
Effect of Vibrostimulatory Wearable Technology on Stereotyped Behavior in a Child with Autism and Intellectual Disability
This study investigated the impact of a wearable device delivering localized vibrational feedback on a child with autism and intellectual disability. Researchers found that the vibrations resulted in reduced repetitive behaviors and improved precision in intentional movements. The child also responded positively to the intervention, indicating that haptic feedback can support behavioral regulation.
How It Relates to The Brooks Band:
The Brooks Band uses real-time vibrational cues to help children become more aware of their voice volume, offering instant, discreet feedback that allows them to self-adjust without external intervention.
Effect of Whole-Body Vibration on Stereotypy in Young Children with Autism
This study explored how whole-body vibration affected stereotypic behaviors in young boys with autism. While results varied, some behaviors decreased, and the children found the vibration sessions engaging and enjoyable.
How It Relates to The Brooks Band:
While this study focused on whole-body vibration, it supports the idea that vibrational stimuli can positively impact behavior regulation. The Brooks Band applies this research by offering localized vibration feedback specifically for voice modulation rather than general movement behaviors.
Early Intervention and Sensory Processing
Early Behavioral Intervention and Normalized Brain Activity in Children with Autism
Early Behavioral Intervention and Normalized Brain Activity in Children with Autism
A study on the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) found that early intervention significantly improved IQ, language, and adaptive behavior in children with autism. Brain scans showed that children who received targeted intervention had brain activity more similar to typically developing children, reinforcing the importance of early behavioral support.
How It Relates to The Brooks Band:
The Brooks Band serves as a real-time intervention tool, helping children develop self-awareness of their voice volume at an early age. The device promotes consistent, immediate feedback, which is essential in behavioral learning.
Effectiveness of Sensory Integration Interventions in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
This study found that sensory-based interventions significantly improved behavioral outcomes in children with ASD. Providing immediate sensory feedback was shown to help children process external stimuli more effectively and regulate their responses.
How It Relates to The Brooks Band:
The Brooks Band is designed to deliver instant sensory feedback, helping children recognize when their voice is too loud and adjust accordingly. This aligns with proven sensory integration strategies that encourage independent behavior modification.
Wearable Technology and Assistive Devices
Wearable Technology Design for Autism Spectrum Disorders
Wearable Technology Design for Autism Spectrum Disorders
This research highlights that assistive wearables for ASD must be comfortable, lightweight, and provide real-time sensory feedback to be effective. It also emphasizes that customizability and adaptability are key factors in successful adoption.
How It Relates to The Brooks Band:
The Brooks Band is specifically designed to be discreet, lightweight, and sensory-friendly, ensuring that it is comfortable for children to wear daily. The device also offers adjustable settings to match individual sensory needs.
Haptic and Tactile Interfaces for Autism: A Systematic Review
A review of haptic technology in autism intervention found that tactile feedback can improve self-regulation and communication for individuals with ASD.
How It Relates to The Brooks Band:
The Brooks Band integrates haptic feedback to gently alert users when they are speaking too loudly, reinforcing self-awareness and volume control in real-time.
Wearable Assistive Technologies for Autism: Opportunities and Challenges
This study explores how wearable devices can improve social interactions for individuals with ASD while also acknowledging the need for further research on long-term effectiveness.
How It Relates to The Brooks Band:
The Brooks Band is a practical, real-time solution that encourages social engagement and independence by helping children regulate their voice volume without verbal corrections from parents or teachers.
