About LENA

LENA’s vision is that every child enters kindergarten prepared for success. To that end, they provide technology-based programs to accelerate the language development of children birth to three and close opportunity gaps. During a baby’s first few years, having back and forth conversations is a significant factor driving brain growth and kindergarten readiness. LENA’s wearable “talk pedometer” technology provides objective, actionable feedback that helps caregivers increase interactions with children and create sustainable improvements in children’s talk environments. LENA also generates real-time metrics for all stakeholders, measuring program fidelity, effectiveness, and progress. LENA is a 501(c)(3) public charity based in Boulder, CO.
