Samsung's Look at Me initiative aims to help Canadian families living with autism

Look at Me is an initiative Samsung launched earlier this year in partnership with Autism Speaks Canada. The app leverages Samsung's innovation and expertise in the mobile space, and can help children living with autism improve eye contact, better recognize facial expressions and build more meaningful connections with their parents, caregivers and friends.

Samsung donated 200 Samsung tablets pre-loaded with the Look at Me app to 200 Canadian families living with autism. The families were invited to connect through a private Facebook group and share their stories, questions and progress.  Learn more about it here.
