ABSTRACT
The HANDS project is designed for Helping Autism-diagnosed Navigate and Develop Socially (HANDS) and combines studies within the pedagogical and psychological fields with the more technological field of Persuasive Design (PD). Functional deficits in social ability are considered in teenagers with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in relation to underlying structural neurological deficits, and the implications of motivation are discussed. Design-requirement proposals are made for the Handy Interactive Persuasive Diary (HIPD) to customize its functionality to meet the specific needs of this population in order to support the development of their social skills. The main purpose of this paper is to clarify the expected role of the HIPD considered from a psychological perspective.
