More than 300 people have preordered a Leka. This is just incredible!
We are so happy and thrilled, and we want to thank you again and again for your amazing support!
Leka will be shipped the second quarter of 2017. Which is one year after the pre-order campaign. This date is based on commitments we have made with our manufacturer. It will give us enough time to make sure that Leka works as smoothly as possible, is solid enough for your child, and meets all the legal & regulatory requirements.

Leka is an interactive and multi-sensory smart toy, offering children with special needs the ability to play fun and educational games that motivates social interactions, that increase motor, cognitive, and emotional skills, as well as stimulates 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.
FEATURES
As a robotic toy, Leka is a child’s perfect companion and friend.
EQUIPPED WITH SENSORS
Leka can detect and respond to a child’s interaction through autonomous behaviors. Interactive responses aim to help children better understand social cues and improve their social skills.
PREDICTABLE IN ITS INTERACTIONS (meaning, each and all of its interactions are pre-programmed)
Leka give children a sense of safety and peace of mind
A WIDE RANGE OF STIMULATIONS, FINELY CUSTOMIZABLE
Even children with restrictive areas of interest will find their own source of motivation.Because each child is unique, we made Leka's stimulations and applications finely customizable to be able to adapt to a child’s individual needs for engagement and motivation and to advance alongside each child’s progress.

With Leka, there is finally a resource for parents who want to complement existing therapies and foster family harmony with parents and siblings through multiplayer games, both at school and at home.
LEKA'S BENEFIT
Leka is focused on making social interaction easier with the child's family and surroundings through multiplayer games as well as reducing anxiety and stress.

Leka motivates and guides the child throughout the day to autonomously complete different daily tasks through pictograms displayed on its screen and vocal instructions.

Leka helps parents, caregivers and therapists teach motor, cognitive, and emotional skills through play. Integrating Leka at home and in school will then help parents and therapists to stay connected.

Besides Leka's interactive responses, we are developing educational applications targeting the specific needs of children such as motor, cognitive, social, and emotional disorders. These applications can be used as:
- MULTIPLAYER ACTIVITIES – used with parents, therapists, and siblings to motivate social interactions and foster family harmony.
- AUTONOMOUS ACTIVITIES – used to help a child play on his or her own, building a sense of independence, and control over emotions, frustration, and anxiety.
Within each application users will be able to customize the level of difficulty of the application and to modify the guidance level, or how much instructions Leka needs to provide the child with in order to complete the game.
These games engage children and give them the opportunity to play and learn at the same time.

Leka’s power lies in its ability to motivate children. This is why Leka will offer 3 autonomy-building apps such as Time-Timer, Alarm Clock, and Nightlight, common assistance tools for special needs children, making children and parent’s lives easier!

[Coming in 2018]
To help parents, therapists, and caregivers work as a team towards faster progress. Leka will provide data on how the children interact with the device and allows parents to follow their children’s progress.
For example, when analyzing the raw data generated through the interaction of the child with the robot, we can understand what kind of guidance is more helpful to the child to allow him to complete the task. All of this information is displayed in graphs on the tracking tab of the monitoring platform.
From this shared interface, parents, therapists, and caregivers can communicate with each other about things like assigning homework or sharing notes on a child’s use and progress.

With this monitoring platform Leka can offer a more consistent therapy and let children achieve faster progress.

RESEARCH-BASED & USER-CENTRIC DESIGNED
Years of research on social robotics and developmental psychology has shown the learning potential of robots for children with Autism. We have built our features based on what has been demonstrated in this field.
Subsequently, through our tests we realized this technology is not only beneficial for children with autism, but could also be an adaptable learning tool for many other children with developmental disorders.

Leka is aligned with research-based developmental milestones. Our educational applications are designed through qualitative studies, direct observation of children using Leka, and has been validated by the French Advisory & Scientific Board, an organization composed of some of France’s top researchers, therapists, caregivers, entrepreneurs and organization executives.
