This is a wonderful story about one man doing something for his grandson and making it available to everyone else for free.

As an industry we have both failed and succeeded at making technology more accessible for the disabled. We have failed because few companies think of this up front but succeeded because technology is generally flexible enough to be adapted after the fact.

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 in honor of his grandson, and is making it available to anyone for free.
