Computers

Reb1986

Hi everyone,

 

I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this but here goes...

I am researching computers for young adults with autism and learning disabilities. Does anyone have suggestions for what would be suitable, what kind of software I might need to get, any useful companies or websites....just anything really.

Any help you can offer me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  • If you decide to go the tablet route, the Elektor magazine has recently run a project on interfacing tablets to the outside world to allow objective measurement, control etc.

    PIC microcontrollers offer a simple way of automating stand alone applications, you are welcome to contact me if you want any info, I do have a 60 module course ready for six year old's and above that leads to ROBOTIC's, something I am told that might be applicable here. I have a very rough workshop notebook at magics-notebook.com that covers the basics.

    I have just begun to look at producing a cheap eye tracker, that would work with a laptop.

    You could be the one !.

  • Hi

    With Aspergers in mind, Filmaking, Stop Motion, Digital Animation type software is often popular along with other visual software sometimes with an engineering aspect i.e. Sim City type of thing.  For some anyway... What are you doing the research for?  Uni course?  Would be great to see what you come up with at the end of it all.

    Good luck

  • There is a lot of attention on the iPad at the moment. I would take a look into that.
