Leka is an interactive and multi-sensory smart toy, offering children with special needs the ability to play fun and educational games that motivate social interactions, increase motor, cognitive, and emotional skills, as well as stimulate autonomy. Based on papers published in peer-reviewed sources, Leka has been developed hand-in-hand with parents, therapists, and caregivers to aid in a variety of settings. From the office to schools to home, Leka is making therapy easier, more efficient, and more accessible. Equipped with sensors, Leka can detect and respond to a child’s interaction through autonomous behaviors. For example, if Leka is mistreated and thrown to the ground, it gets sad and turns red, a color traditionally associated with sadness. Interactive responses like this aim to help children better understand social cues and improve their social skills. Leka is predictable in its interactions (meaning each and all of its interactions are pre-programmed) in order to give children a sense of safety and peace of mind. Leka offers a wide range of stimulations in a way that even children with restrictive areas of interest will find their own source of motivation.
