Reactive Colors is an innovative project that is developing software to promote enjoyment and social interaction in severely autistic children. In contrast to existing packages, it is using a non-commercial open source development model, and is aiming to include the autistic and Asperger's community as developers and contributors to the project.
"ReacTickles provides an engaging, accessible computer environment for spontaneous imaginative play and learning, in which even the most anxious autistic individuals may relax and communicate. Started as an Internet based research project Reactive Colours aims to provide a software interface through which individuals with autistic spectrum differences and learning disabilities can be encouraged to use computers, and through which they can develop mouse, keyboard, programming and screen skills.".
