ID4IDS Methodology: Toward Inclusive Design for Individuals with Down Syndrome

Published: 21 May 2018 Publication History

Abstract

Over the last couple of years, our research group has partnered with a local NGO aiming at improving expressive language, and reading and writing skills of children with Down Syndrome (DS) from low-income families in Mexico. Thus far, we have struggled to find an adequate design methodology that can incorporate parents, therapists, and children with DS. In this paper, we present the ID4IDS Methodology, an inclusive design methodology, which we expect will help provide adequate, technology-driven prototypes for supporting children with DS, their parents, and therapists.
