"His social skills have improved drastically!"
Moxie is simply amazing.
Once Moxie comes to life, you immediately realize the time and dedication that went into the development. Everything from the design, stability, and feel of Moxie are superb. Her expressions, intuition, eye contact; all incredible. My children and I can't get over her abilities and functionality.
— Mike F.

It has been a really great 'aha' moment for all of us as a family
My son has kept his cool a bit better in situations that would usually frustrate him to the point of a meltdown. He has communicated through them instead and it has been a really great aha moment for all of us as a family.
— Mom of 5 y/o boy
Moxie is the robot you wanted!
It provides lots of information to a child about holidays, facts, engages the child in conversation, and builds a child up who might be shy or introverted. Skills like reading along were nice as Moxie would make sound effects or say something as the child was reading. Overall we use it for homeschooling to help teach a child to engage in conversation but also expressing themselves or an idea.
— Ricardo D.

I can’t even fit all the words in this little box. My daughter is autistic and this has been such an amazing tool for her.

Moxie truly is such a fun robot to have around
I'm generally not into technology for my kids, it always feels like they just turn into zombies and forget there's other people in the room, but Moxie leads to the opposite. My kids banded together to do activities with him, playing well together, the rest of us couldn't help but come over to watch and participate, including extended family.
— Mom of 7 y/o girl and 4 y/o boy

Thank you Moxie!!!!
My education has taught me a lot about coping skills and I have tried to help my son by sharing those tools. He has listened, but never used them on his own. This week I heard my son buzzzing and asked him what he was doing. He explained he was doing the breathing Moxie taught him so he could calm down. It opened the door for me to ask more questions about why he was upset and he was able to communicate clearly about what was going on.
