Our aim is to investigate, how communication with "intelligent" systems affects the interaction of children with untypical development. Natural language processing is intended to be used in toys to talk to children. This challenging H{\´a}blame-project (as part of the EU-funded Gaviota project) is just starting. We will discuss verification of its premises and its potentials, and outline the technical solution.}, language = {en} }
