Tools that help people express themselves are gifts, especially when they also serve to educate the user as well as the audience. Project Spectrum seems to do all of that. It's fascinating to discover that children with Autism find it much easier and more intuitive to express their ideas in a 3D software program rather than in 2D with pencil and paper.

And, try it out yourself!
