My six year-old son has autism. I introduced him to my PC less than a year ago, and it has been a wonderful learning tool for him. He's made a great move already from XP to Vista! He is a natural learner on the PC, and has already learned a lot on his own. Have PC, will learn... I have been pushing our school system to deliver a large part of his curriculum on the PC, but all they say is "We have to evaluate his situation." Well, I'm past the evaluation point, as I know that it WILL work if he receives a large part of his lessons on the PC. I would LOVE to hear more about your work as Director of Education Solutions, especially as it applies to autistic children and children with other special needs. I already know that the computer will be a major window to the world for my son, and it very well may provide him an excellent way to communicate to others around him (He is functionally non-verbal.). Thanks in advance for helping autistic children learn via the PC!

Here in Argentina, the things doesnt go well in this tasks. I wrote a paper for polititians, that explains the way to create "Educational Center for Knowledge Access, for poor places", even it is focused on Linux, this could be useful to get in practices. I made an investigation of 5 years, and this little paper, show IMHO the way to do the things in my region.
