If you are interested in programming, the best way is to find a motivating goal to learn. It sounds like you have a very motivating goal. However, it will probably take quite a long time for you to get to a point where you can make a useful tool for your son. While your problem description is straightforward, the implementation is not. One route you might consider is contacting your local engineering college for help. My alumnus recently solicited funds for a "Life Interaction Device" for Abigail, a 6 year old girl with Cerebral Palsy: http://www.ee.utulsa.edu/Abigail/index.html It sounds as if Abagail's needs are far greater than your son's, but your project would make an interesting design project for CS students at an undergraduate level. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
