This free software is AWESOME!! It has basic concepts, vocabulary, social stories, and more! It is easily used by children with limited computer skills (only have to press the spacebar)!

Message from HIYAH.net:
My name is Sara. I have 2 boys who both showed an interest in the computer, but didn't know how to use the mouse or keyboard. Since there was nothing on the market to meet their needs, I developed a series of educational computer software programs that they could operate on their own by simply pressing the spacebar. I am making these programs available at no charge to any parent or teacher who thinks they may be able to use them.
The programs are based on high interest subjects, such as nursery rhymes, holidays, and birthday themes. The software keeps children engaged and actively learning. And for children with limited language skills, my programs can help give meaning to words and concepts. Holidays, birthdays, going to the doctor, dentist, or getting a haircut, are all broken down into sequential steps to thoroughly explain the event.
This educational software is made for children 18 months to 4 years of age (or higher for children struggling with language delays due to autism or other causes).
