FIELD OF INVENTION
Our proposed project is related to game development and innovative educator methodology. This project aims to help special children with menial disabilities improve their standard of life by improving their moral and ethical behavior. Our proposed project consists of integrated Artificial Intelligence-Assisted learning. Speech Therapy with Voice sensors, Intelligence, and Emotional Quotient tracking with Machine learning, and developing a holistic experience for the end users by creating a daily routine for specialized children.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Mentally challenged children face a lot of challenges in their lives and to fit in our society as a normal one
The major problems they encounter are:
They have limited access to primary education and learning. They usually have a communication barrier and they can't express their needs properly. They usually don't know enough about their day-to-day routines and what to do next. The monthly medications and counseling costs for their speech therapy are too high. The awareness about the problem among the parents is deficient. The motivation for the development of this project was to create awareness about the importance of education for mentally challenged children to encourage them in the field of academics and to improve their lives by creating an engaging education platform.

SUMMARY
Our proposed project consists of many innovative techniques and essential technology for providing'a quality education for menially challenged children and improving the standards of their lives. The core concept of our project is to develop an engaging gaming platform with the help of the gaming software Unreal engine which consists of many futuristic adaptable and customizable features for creating our designs and templates for the gaming platform. Text-to- speech therapy works based on repetitive and spaced understanding of students' listening and speaking skills as it is integrated with artificial intelligence for real-time monitoring and customizable learning it creates a holistic experience for the end user to use for their improvement. The machine learning-based tracking of Intelligence quotient and emotional quotient works on the predictive algorithms for finding the levels of understanding of the language by the student and their speaking and listening skills arc the key parameters for measuring their IQ levels. These are some of the working of our proposed project which will tester the motivation of the students and their parents in society.

OBJECTIVES
Real-time analysis of the problem and the necessary solution for the problem is implemented in our project

Our project mainly focuses on the special schools that are actively taking care of mentally disabled children and their improvement in lives

Our project is also very efficient, feasible, and user-friendly, with complete guidelines for the parents and guardians ofspecial children. The strategy for overcoming this problem is to create awareness about it among society and the parents who are taking care of special children and to provide access to education and vocational training for mentally disabled children.

• Efficient access to. education for specialized children through our Engaging Gaming platform
• Improving the standard of specialized children's lives by enhancing their
communication skills, andcogjnitiveand basic real-time application skills.
• Creating an innovative approach to the specialized students so that they will not rely on others entirely for their day-to-day needs
• It creates a proper everyday schedule and routines in the lives of specialized children.
• Al-assisted technology in learning helps the students with their customized and repetitive learning process.

Our proposed project consists of many innovative features which can be visualized by our flowchart which consists of every feature and aspect of our project.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Our proposed solution is based on an engaging gamified platform through which special students can access their desired education.
This gamified educative platform directly focuses on children with mental disability and speech impairment problems. Our proposed project works as a reinforcement way for mentally disabled children to learn their day-to-day routines and improve their cognitive skills.

The key features of our proposed solution are:
1. Game-based educative platform using Unreal engine
2. TTS (text-to-speech) &SST (spaced repetitive techno logy)-based speech therapy assistance.
3. Al-assisted technology & machine learning technology-based IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and Emotional Quotient) graphs

WORKFLOW
Our proposed project is.an engaging gaming platform through which quality education is
accessible to mentally challenged students. As the Mentally challenged students have less attention span in concentrating on any one task for not more than one hour our project acts as a reinforcement project for the students with mental disabilities.

The workflow begins with the display of the user interface which consists of the introduction of the Gaming module and proceeds to the next slide which consists of the key features of the gameplay such as learning routines, machine learning-based intelligence quotient, and emotional quotient tracking. Text-to-Speech technology-based speech.
therapy and Artificial intelligence assisted technology based customized learning for the
standard improvement of the students.

The key feature of learning daily basis routines consists of waking up in the morning, freshening up, having breakfast, yoga, and meditation, listening and some cognitive activity sessions, musical therapy sessions, and sleeping sessions.

The second Key feature of Text-to-Speech therapy consists of the integration of voice sensors and the integration of modules for accessing an inbuilt artificial intelligence voice for instructing the students based on their pronunciation for their regular practice and for
their improvement in speaking skills every aspect ofTTS technology consists of level based assessment for examining the student capability of listening and repeating the phrase or the sentence again till they master that given inputs.

The Third key feature of Tracking Intelligence and Emotional Quotient based on Machine learning is an important aspect of our project as it tracks the mood swings of the student throughout an entire day and it projects the tracking as a graph for their improvement in the levels of intelligence and mastering of the Emotions.

The Fourth Key feature of Artificial Intelligence customized learning makes the end user for their interactive learning and their clarification doubts and for the rectification of errors by receiving the feedbacks from the end user. It uses the principle of Spaced repetition and holistic learning to train the students again and again till they master that particular concept or the topic that they had chosen.

THE GAMING EXPERIENCE
The Gameplay consists of interesting characters and levels revolving the real-time and reaL
life-based scenarios, arenas, and situations and it creates a learning for the children to learn
moral values and how to behave with people by connecting with the main character in the
gameplay that travels throughout the game. The game usually consists of a visually represented and logical thinking wav in which it motivates the students to survive in society with a better mindset.

The Gameplay also teaches the students about the daily routines which makes the students
independent at some point with the regular practice of the task. For every stage and level
of the game, it tries to improve the behavior and the skills in the student capabilities.
