Zac Browser

My wife found this story in Yahoo news (see link below).

I think this is a wonderful and loving story. Please, read on.

Its a story about a grandfather, John LeSieur, and his grandson, Zac, who has Autism.

PC browsers offer a lot of options and choices, which are not good for children with autism. The options overwhelm the kids and they become so frustrated that they cannot use the Internet. Mr. LeSieur looked for web-browser tools tat catered to Children with Autism but found none.

So he built one himself.

The Zac Browser simplifies the web for kids with autism. It screens out most of the web's content and limits the choices they need to make, thus allowing them to use and explore the Internet.

The site is easy to use, beautiful and specifically focused at children and their imterests. They can chose from some basic options, "Games", "TV", and "Reading" being the main ones.; although my personal favorite is the "Aquarium." I strongly recommend you go to the link below and try it out, especially if you have children.
