ABSTRACT:
Autism is a disorder that impacts upon communication, cognition and behaviour. People with autism are users of both digital and non-digital assistive technologies. They are, however, both highly individual and sensitive users making them potentially difficult to design with and for. This presentation will describe a study of autism support and those who deliver that support. A participatory design method, for use by support people, will be presented and comments sought.

Peter Francis is a PhD candidate with the Interaction Design Group, Department of Information Systems, University of Melbourne. He is also a lecturer at the School of Management & Information Systems, Victoria University.




Please forward to others if interested. All are Welcome.
