Welcome to ZAC Browser - Zone for Autistic Children
You have found the best environment on the Internet for your autistic child.
ZAC is the first web browser developed specifically for children with autism, and autism spectrum
disorders such as Asperger syndrome, pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), and PDD-NOS. We have made this browser for the
children - for their enjoyment, enrichment, and freedom. Children touch it, use it, play it, interact with it, and experience
independence through ZAC.
ZAC is the zone that will permit your child to interact directly with games (a LOT of games) and
activities (focused on MANY interests) that cater specifically to kids who display the characteristics of autism spectrum
disorders, like impairments in social interaction, impairments in communication, restricted interests and repetitive behavior.
ZAC has been an effective tool for kids with low, medium and high functioning autism.
ZAC focuses on the children and their interaction - But we also provide an excellent forum for parents,
caretakers, teachers, and others to share their experiences, tools and resources and to unite as a caring, compassionate,
and extremely knowledgeable community. It is said that "it takes a village to raise a child", and that is exponentially true
for raising a child with autistic spectrum disorders. The power of your experience yesterday is going to be instrumental in
helping someone successfully tackle the circumstances of today.

Websites to Help Find Support for Parents With Children that have Special
Needs
This site started in the mid-90's when a parent, in desperation, reached out to other parents by
starting a message board. We welcome you to come in and join us. We are a group of parents who are raising challenging children.
Our kids have many different diagnoses, but they can be oppositional, defiant and resistant to parenting.
Welcome to the HSSN, the Homeschooling Email List for Special Needs and/or Medically Fragile Children.
Our focus is homeschooling families with at least one special needs child. We know that there are many labels out there: disability,
special needs, physical or developmental challenges and more. Many of our members have medically fragile children dealing
with trials in speech, motor development and learning disabilities.
We homeschool full time or part of the time or we
are considering homeschooling. Topics include: curricula, speech, feeding issues, OT, PT, survival strategies for "other"
siblings, staying "sane"(whatever that is??) and a host of other issues.
Special Needs/Book Recommendation
Homeschooling the Child with Asperger Syndrome
by Lise Pyles
I believe this book is for anyone that wants to homeschool a child with Asperger Syndrome.
It has tons of information plus it has testimonials from parents of children with Asperger Syndrome. In fact, the author herself
is a parent of a child with Asperger Syndrome. Also, this book is very easy to understand. It doesn’t have a bunch of
technical terms like most books that are written to help children with special needs.
