Grandfather Builds Browser for Autistic Grandson
Check out this AP story (that I got from Matt Roush's GLITR newsletter) about a grandfather who built a new web browser for his autistic grandson: fewer (and less overwhelming) choices, bigger icons, and disabling of extraneous keyboard buttons and the right mouse click: "commands most children don't need anyway, and [reducing] the chance an autistic child will lose confidence after making a counterproductive click."
What a great example of technology and innovation. And the grandfather is offering it for free to anyone who needs it.
