title = {Lekbot: A talking and playing robot for children with disabilities},
abstract = {This paper describes an ongoing project where we develop and
evaluate a setup involving a communication board and a toy robot,
which can communicate with each other via synthesized speech. The
purpose is to provide children with communicative disabilities
with a toy that is fun and easy to use together with peers, with
and without disabilities. When the child selects a symbol on the
communication board, the board speaks and the robot responds.
This encourages the child to use language and learn to cooperate
to reach a common goal. Throughout the project, three children
with cerebral palsy and their peers use the robot and provide
feedback for further development. The multimodal interaction with
the robot is video recorded and analyzed together with
observational data in activity diaries.
