A good night’s sleep: Engineers develop technology for special needs children
MANHATTAN — A Kansas State University engineering team is developing a technology collection that can 
make a big difference in the lives of children with developmental disabilities.
The team’s projects so far have addressed around-the-clock technology: bed-based sensors to track child breathing and heart rates; wearable sensors to track child behaviors; and designs that can improve the quality of life for paraeducators who work with these children.
Now the team has received a three-year $400,000 National Science Foundation grant to expand these ideas and better establish a link between nighttime wellness and daytime learning and behavior. The project, “UNS: GARDE: Research to quantify the health and development of children with disabilities around the clock,” involves several Kansas State University engineering researchers who are combining their expertise.
