LINKX: New Language Development Toy For Autistic Children
The electronic toy, which is called LINKX, consists of blocks that the children must place against a specific object. The objects — for example a table or a window — are equipped with a small electronic device of a certain colour. If the children place a block against such an object, the block lights up in the same colour as the object and the child hears the word that corresponds to the name of the object (this word has been pre-recorded by the child’s parents).” ~ ScienceDaily.com, New Language Development Toy For Autistic Children
