We are seeking support for preparing a Commercialization Plan for a SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) Phase 2 NIH grant proposal. The proposed study focuses on developing and testing Sing and Speak 4 Kids , an online music-based game to help children with autism develop their speech-language, produced by Edtech company iQsonics. CHOC (Children’s Hospital of Orange County) is the principal research partner and testing site.
As a telehealth product, SS4Kids is designed to support many families, teachers and therapists with COVID-19 requirements for distance/remote access to interventions.
This Early Childhood Music-based Language Development Program is under the fiscal sponsorship of the non-profit sponsor Earth Rights Institute.
