Leka, Leka Robot

Leka Robot: While the Leka was designed specifically with autistic children in mind, the product’s scope has since grown to cover a wide swath of kids with special needs. “We started with autism and did our first tests with children at school with Down Syndrome and other disabilities and discovered that the robot works with those children, as well.” The robot itself rolls around, changes color and has a built-in display designed to engage children with interactive games. It’s a platform really, one that executes specially designed apps like “Color Bingo” and “Hide and Go Seek,” not unlike the iPad, which de Toldi considers Leka’s chief competition aside from a handful of pricier tools created specifically with this target audience in mind.
