A reader e-mailed us today asking about Google’s Project Spectrum. As far as we can tell, it seems to be an initiative using Google’s SketchUp software in tandem with social networking capabilities as a way to help kids on the spectrum express themselves and share their work with others. We love its focus on abilities and the fact that, unlike most autism-focused products, IT IS FREE. Also, it looks like a really fun program for anyone with an eye for design.
Have any of you used this? We’d love to hear what you think about it–its capabilities, its drawbacks, ease of use, etc. Kids and adults on and off the spectrum are welcome to comment!
