• Co-Designing Programmable Fidgeting Experience with Swarm Robots for Adults with ADHD

  Samira Pulatova, Lawrence H Kim · 2024 · ASSETS '24: Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper explores how small tabletop swarm robots can provide customisable fidgeting experiences for adults with ADHD through co-design sessions with 16 diagnosed participants. Fidgeting — repetitive body movements or object manipulation — has been shown to benefit people with…

• "I Am Human, Just Like You": What Intersectional, Neurodivergent Lived Experiences Bring to Accessibility Research

  Lindy Le · 2024 · Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2024)

  This paper uses critical autoethnography to examine how intersectional identities shape the experience of neurodivergence, drawing on the author's personal journey of discovering, accepting, and valuing their autism and ADHD diagnoses as a cisgender, Southeast Asian American,…

• Participatory Design for Cognitive Accessibility of Web-based Interactive Systems

  Adrian Wegener · 2024 · Proceedings of the 21st International Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This doctoral consortium paper outlines a PhD research program aimed at addressing the significant underrepresentation of cognitive accessibility in web accessibility research. The author notes that while cognitive disabilities account for a 28% share of disabilities in Germany,…

• "It Was Something I Naturally Found Worked and Heard About Later": An Investigation of Body Doubling with Neurodivergent Participants

  Tessa Eagle, Kathryn E. Ringland · 2024 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This study investigates body doubling—using the presence of others to initiate, maintain focus on, or complete tasks—as a community-driven practice among neurodivergent individuals. The researchers conducted an online survey of 220 participants (193 identifying as…
