Zac Browser - Skill Booster

I've been meaning to write a post about this for a while now. There aren't enough words to express how happy my family is to have discovered the Zac Browser.  
Most of us browse the web many times a day without giving it a second thought, but for people who suffer from disorders in the autistic spectrum, it becomes a much more difficult experience.
With autistic children, the challenge is twofold - protecting them from the dangers of the Internet, as well as providing them with an browsing experience that is in line with their needs. Zac Browser is a tool that aims to meet both requirements.
So now you're wondering what the Zac Browser is exactly.


The Zac Browser is the first Internet browser created specifically for children living with variants of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Asperger syndrome, Rett syndrome, PDD not otherwise specified and PDD-NOS - also called atypical autism.
The software is called Zac Browser in honor of Mr. John LeSieur's grandson, Zackary. Read their story.
Basically the Zac Browser reorganizes the most suitable websites and videos available on the Internet and delivers them within a unique and secure browser experience.
The software allows your child to access games, activities, and videos  (tons of games, activities, and videos) based on diverse interests and allows a stimulating experience and encourages children to talk. The browser is the best way to find and enjoy what the Internet has to offer with only a few clicks of the mouse.
My son is non-verbal with severe global delays and loves playing with the Zac Browser everyday. He finds it very easy to navigate around the site and it holds his attention while giving him the independence to do what he likes on the site. It also gives my husband and I peace of mind that we know that he is safe while playing and browsing. 

Oh, and Zac Browser is a totally free downloadable software package!
