In recent years, neurodiverse children have increasingly been involved in the technology design process, but the design approaches adopted have focused mostly on overcoming difficulties of working with these children, leaving their strengths untapped. We present a new participatory design (PD) framework, Diversity for Design (D4D), which provides guidance for technology designers working with neurodiverse children in establishing PD methods that capitalize on children's strengths and also support potential difficulties. We present two case studies of use of the D4D framework, involving children with ASD and dyslexia, showing how it informed the development and refinement of PD methods tailored to these populations. In addition, we show how to apply the D4D framework to other neurodiverse populations. date: 2014-04-26 date_type: published publisher: Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2556288.2557244 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1056108 doi: 10.1145/2556288.2557244 isbn_13: 9781450324731 lyricists_name: Benton, Laura lyricists_name: Vasalou, Asimina lyricists_id: LBENT04 lyricists_id: MVASA31 actors_name: Benton, Laura actors_id: LBENT04 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - Proceedings place_of_pub: New York, NY, United States pagerange: 3747-3756 event_title: Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) book_title: CHI '14: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems editors_name: Jones, M editors_name: Palanque, P editors_name: Schmidt, A editors_name: Grossman, T citation: Benton, L; Vasalou, A; Khaled, R; Johnson, H; Gooch, D; (2014) Diversity for design: A framework for involving neurodiverse children in the technology design process.
