The National Lekotek Center nurtures the replication of the Lekotek model nationwide. The network is currently comprised of 35 affiliates that offer the traditional Lekotek model of programs, including the play session,
toy lending libraries and oftentimes,
Compuplay programs, and a myriad of unique programs that meet the diverse needs of the families within the context of their own suburban, urban and rural communities.
The National Lekotek Center serves as the central source for information about starting and growing a Lekotek program - and about using parts of the Lekotek model in other human services settings. New Lekotek programs become part of the National Lekotek Center network of affiliates after their staff have been trained and certified by the National Lekotek Center and their program has entered into an agreement about the use of the Lekotek name and quality standards.
We welcome agencies, groups or individuals interested in providing Lekotek services in local communities to contact us. By becoming a Lekotek affiliate is an on-going commitment that brings play and learning to children with disabilities and their families.
