ZAC Browser - Zone for Autistic Children ZAC is the first web browser developed specifically for children with autism, and autism spectrum disorders such as Asperger syndrome, pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), and PDD-NOS. We have made this browser for the children - for their enjoyment, enrichment, and freedom. Children touch it, use it, play it, interact with it, and experience independence through ZAC. This web browser can be downloaded free. Simply click here to get started or visit www.zacbrowser.com |

for hot dogs on the barbecue when we wrap things up at 5:00.
June 14th -> Families! See you at the zoo. Families meet at the main entrance for a lazy Sunday stroll around Magnetic Hill Zoo, before the
weather gets too warm and the animals are still active.
June 22-26 -> Training week for our summer students. They will cover Autism 101, working with SEPs, teaching strategies, sensory
processing differences, using visual supports, encouraging social interaction, relaxation strategies and stress management, and working
with kids, families and the community. Parents are invited to attend any or all of these sessions free of charge but advance registration
is required.

June 29th -> First day of Camp for school-aged children and teens. SEED and Canada Jobs summer employment grants help keep

increasing enrollments, please note that confirmation of an autism spectrum diagnosis is required for all children other than siblings/peer
models.
July 11-12 -> Volunteers needed for the Atlantic Nationals weekend! We also cook burgers and hot dogs, serve soft drinks and snacks
from 10:30AM to 3:30PM at the Greater Moncton Corvette Club display. It's a fun day but a lot of cooking. If you can spare a few hours to
either activity, please give ARC a call at 855-9032 or autismresourcecentre@gmail.com Our chief cooks and bottle washers would
appreciate the help!
