• Ethical Concerns when Working with Mixed-Ability Groups of Children

  Ana O. Henriques, Patricia Piedade, Filipa Rocha, Isabel Neto, Hugo Nicolau · 2024 · Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '24)

  This paper critically examines the ethical challenges researchers face when conducting studies involving mixed-ability groups of children — groups that include both children with and without disabilities working together. The authors draw on two case studies from their own…

• Inclusion as a Process: Co-Designing an Inclusive Robotic Game with Neurodiverse Classrooms

  Patricia Piedade, Isabel Neto, Ana Cristina Pires, Rui Prada, Hugo Nicolau · 2024 · Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '24)

  This paper documents a seven-month co-design process in which researchers worked with 80 children (18 of whom were neurodivergent) across four neurodiverse classrooms in Lisbon, Portugal, to design an inclusive tabletop robotic game. The children, aged 6 to 12, included those…

• Towards Designing Digital Learning Tools for Students with Cortical/Cerebral Visual Impairments: Leveraging Insights from Teachers of the Visually Impaired

  Adele Smolansky, Miranda Yang, Shiri Azenkot · 2024 · Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '24)

  This paper investigates how digital learning tools should be designed to support students with cortical/cerebral visual impairment (CVI), a neurological condition that affects the brain's ability to process visual information rather than the eyes themselves. CVI is now the most…

• ZINinNGT: A Mobile Tool to Aid Hearing Parents Learning Dutch Sign Language

  Jos Ritmeester, Beyza Sümer, Marije Boonstra, Maartje de Meulder, Belinda van der Aa, Floris Roelofsen · 2024 · Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '24)

  This short paper examines the potential of ZINinNGT, a mobile learning application designed to help hearing parents of deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children learn Dutch Sign Language (Nederlandse Gebarentaal, NGT). The research addresses a critical communication gap: over 90%…

• "It's an independent living skill, but covered with fun!": Prompting At-Home Skill Development for Children with Vision Impairment

  Vinitha Gadiraju, Lucia Jayne, Shaun K. Kane · 2024 · Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS)

  This study investigates how to design tools that support independent living skill development for blind or visually impaired (BVI) children within their home environments. The research involved five families with BVI children in grades 4-6, using a three-phase methodology:…
