Grandfather builds Web browser for autistic grandson
| June 3, 2008 |  View for printing |
John LeSieur 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 http://www.zacbrowser.com/ in honor of his grandson, and is making it available to anyone for free.
