A Minneapolis Center is Experimenting with the Devices and Parents are hopeful.
With Asperger's Syndrome, a form of
autism, people often
lack the inner voice that tells them what is,
or is not, appropriate behavior. At Fraser
Center,
staff came up with the idea of programming
iPods to act as an electronic
substitute for that inner voice.

Big Screen TV for You and Your Computer
According to RJ Cooper, the guy who
comes up with ideas and solutions for people
with special needs and their computers, here
is one more...
Should you be in the market for a large screen TV, look on the back for a VGA 15 pin computer video input. Here's where you are able to plug in your computer and you have a full large screen. Change your resolutions to 800x600 which will increase your screen 40% instantly. We hope this tip was helpful. |
