Creators of Zac Browser (Zone for Autistic Children), the first software designed for the needs of people living with autism, People CD Inc. now offers the first software browser for preteens: Tweens Browser.
Zac Browser has recently introduced version 1.5 of its software, the first step in computer science designed for people living with autism. It allows users to choose a myriad of activities, videos, games, songs and access to a free-style drawing board, all with a few clicks of the mouse. Zac Browser has allowed extending possibilities to a mass of people living with autism by making it much easier to control emotions, increasing the use of speech and allowing more autonomy.
Tweens Browser is designed for children 7 to 12 years of age. It is full-screen software, 100% secure that will block inappropriate sites and pop-up windows. It offers 10 distinct categories chock-full of various Internet sites specifically selected and accessible with just a few clicks of the mouse.
"The preteen years are a very important stage of life and the Internet can prove to be a harmful and sometimes traumatic tool for young Internauts when left to themselves. We have designed Tweens Browser to offer the best of the Internet", says John LeSieur, President and CEO of People CD.
One of the important challenges that Tweens Browser attempts to accomplish is to remodel and filter the Internet for children in the 7 to 12 year age group. The choice of Internet sites is revised manually and only sites that are considered excellent are made available with Tweens Browser. Sites that include violence, racism, pornography and chat are automatically removed by the software. Another important challenge that Tweens Browser wants to address is the integration of users of all nationalities, physical appearance and mental development. "Preteens have to live with enough discrimination outside the Internet environment, so we want to offer them an environment of respect because every person in our society is important" relates John LeSieur.
Tweens Browser contains a secured section where users are able to react to different articles, news items and open questions. This section called "The Tweens News" is fed and run by 2 of the 5 children in John LeSieur's family: Anne-Sophie (Sophy Sticated) and Jean-Philippe (Jay Pea). Daily news updates are offered in a secure environment and a place of choice where pleasure and discovery are the order of the day. All messages are manually filtered before being made available on "The Tweens News". Chat and personal messages are not available on this site so that parents can have peace of mind whenever their children are using Tweens Browser.
As with Zac Browser, Tweens Browser is offered for free without user limitations, subscription or hidden costs. Tweens Browser is compatible with Windows Vista, XP and will be compatible with Mac in the coming months.
Parents can count on Tweens Browser to ensure that preteens have access to only the best that the Internet has to offer.
