Autism is getting more press lately, which is a good thing. I think about it as a new parent and also as a member of our school division’s Assistive Technology Team. We help support the needs of the Special Education teachers in our school division. I plan on downloading this to see what it’s all about. It looks quite interesting, to say the least.

ZAC Browser – Zone for Autistic Children
ZAC is the first web browser developed specifically for children with autism, and autism spectrum disorders such as Asperger syndrome, pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), and PDD-NOS. We have made this browser for the children – for their enjoyment, enrichment, and freedom. Children touch it, use it, play it, interact with it, and experience independence through ZAC.
