"The special education field desperately needs viable, cost-controlled
solutions to optimize a school's ability to serve children with special needs
like autism," said Terry Murphy, CEO of MTT. "Now more than ever as public
schools try to qualify their spending under federal stimulus funding
guidelines."

ComputEd Gazette's national BESSIE Awards program honors "...innovative and
content-rich programs and websites which provide parents and teachers with the
technology to foster educational excellence." VizZle both earned the Teacher
Tools/Special Education Website accolade and received the distinction of a
standout review for its autism and special education software by the ComputEd
staff writers (http://www.computedgazette.com/page8.html ).

AEP sponsors one of the educational publishing industry's largest and
longest-running competitions, the prestigious Golden Lamp Awards. The AEP
describes Golden Lamp Finalists as "...defined by their superior use of
content, design, and fulfillment of the product's educational mission. Four
finalists are chosen in each entry category, representing 16 of the year's
most elite educational products." VizZle was named as a finalist in the
Technology Innovations category, which is considered an award in and of
itself. The final winners will be announced in June
