The Arc Lekotek, provided by The Arc of Northwest Wayne County and funded by The Detroit-Wayne County Community Mental Health agency, is a worldwide system of support for families with children who have disabilities. With an emphasis on the enjoyment of play, Lekotek offers an elaborate toy inventory, creative play ideas, and certified Lekotek Leaders who provide fun activities and encourage interactive play.
Founded in Stockholm in 1963 by two Scandinavian women, Lekotek believes that play is the most natural way to reach out to children with disabilities and their families. By stimulating the child's development and bringing joy into their lives, Lekotek respects the child's right to explore, create, and interact through play, allowing them to use toys the way they wish as long as they are safe.
