One child who works with it is six­year­old Kevin Fitzgerald. Kevin has developmental dyspraxia;_he has difficulty moving his mouth and tongue.

　　He works with Carole Semango­Sprouse as he interacts with the Cosmobot during therapy for his condition. Here, he uses a set of buttons attached to a computer to make the silent robot move forward, backward or around in circles.

　　Kevin’s mother thinks the robot has had a calming influence, helping her son get along better with his friends.

　　Cosmobot was developed by Anthro Tronix. Corinna Lathan started the company ten years ago to work with children with cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, autism and other developmental disabilities.

　　Children become friends with the robot, she says. That can have a big effect on their behavior, helping them work harder and longer in therapy sessions.

　　Corinna Lathan is currently working with a British company to develop other socially helpful robots. She says they are still considered research tools in the United States, and not used as much as in places like Britain and Japan. But she hopes to change that.

　　D．using computers for activities is labor­saving
