Why on earth would a blog designed for college students be posting about a browser designed for children with autism? (The link leads you to an article from the Seattle times laying out the whole story.)
Because this is one of those seemingly small, but potentially landscape-shifting, innovations. It's just one software company exec's attempt to make the Web more available to his grandson. But instead of trying to make it work for all children with autism, or trying to corner a niche market with it, he makes it just for Zac, and he makes it available to anyone else for free.
Makes you think. As you put together your life using assistive technology, how can you share that experience to help someone else? Did you write a script that makes your world more accessible? Share it! Did you find a way to solve a problem using common household items in a new way? Describe it! Would love to see your comments.
Way to go, John LeSieur. Thank you for loving your grandson. Thank you for adding to the AT world.
