A Gift for Autistic Children: Grandfather builds Web browser, Offers it Free

by Broam Bergstein, Associated Press, July 9, 2008

John LeSieur [of Quebec] is in the software business, so he took particular interest when computers seemed mostly useless to his 6-year-old grandson, Zackary.

The boy has autism, and the whirlwind of options presented by PCs so confounded him that he threw the mouse in frustration.

LeSieur tried to find online tools that could guide autistic children around the Web, but he couldn't find anything satisfactory. So he had one built, named it the Zac Browser For Autistic Children in honor of his grandson, and is making it available to anyone for free. The Zac Browser can be downloaded or run directly from http://www.zacbrowser.com
