A new cyber safety game is among special education resources being used to educate students with learning disabilities and other special needs. Cybersmart Access is the first online cyber safety game in Australia that was created specifically with special education needs in mind. It was designed by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) as a resource to teach students about protecting themselves online in a way that is fun and engaging.

The free resource will be made available to all teachers of primary and secondary grades across the country. The game cover the most important cyber safety issues that children face online, with a major focus on safe social networking, avoiding cyber bullying, protecting personal information online and appropriate online etiquette. The ACMA consulted with special education students and teacher in developing the game.
