• 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…

• Co-designing Robot Dogs with and for Neurodivergent Individuals: Opportunities and Challenges

  Ha-Kyung Kong, Derek Xie, Ankith Chandra, Rachel Lowy, Arielle F Maignan, Sehoon Ha, Chung Hyuk Park, Jennifer G Kim · 2024 · ASSETS '24: Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper explores how robot dogs might support the daily lives of neurodivergent individuals through a series of three co-design workshops conducted over five weeks. While social robots have been studied in clinical and educational settings for neurodivergent populations,…

• 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 Try to Represent Myself as I Am": Self-Presentation Preferences of People with Invisible Disabilities through Embodied Social VR Avatars

  Ria J. Gualano, Lucy Jiang, Kexin Zhang, Tanisha Shende, Andrea Stevenson Won, Shiri Azenkot · 2024 · ASSETS '24: Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper investigates how people with invisible disabilities want to represent their disability identity through avatars in social virtual reality environments. While prior research has explored avatar-based disability disclosure for blind and d/Deaf users, invisible…

• TwIPS: A Large Language Model Powered Texting Application to Simplify Conversational Nuances for Autistic Users

  Rukhshan Haroon, Fahad Dogar · 2024 · ASSETS '24: Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper presents TwIPS, a prototype texting application powered by a large language model that assists autistic users with the pragmatic and tonal aspects of text-based communication. Many autistic individuals experience difficulties interpreting non-literal language…

• Accessibility through Awareness of Noise Sensitivity Management and Regulation Practices

  Emani Dotch, Avery Mavrovounioti, Weijie Du, Elizabeth Ankrah, Jazette Johnson, Aehong Min, Gillian R Hayes · 2024 · ASSETS '24: Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper investigates how people with noise sensitivity (PWNS) manage and regulate their responses to sound, and identifies opportunities for technology-mediated support. Noise sensitivity — experiencing sounds as disproportionately distressing, painful, or overwhelming —…

• "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,…

• Adult Autism Research Priorities and Conceptualization in Computing Research: Invitation to Co-lead with Autistic Adults

  Dafne Zuleima Morgado Ramirez, Giulia Barbareschi, Cathy Holloway · 2024 · ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction

  This extensive literature review critically examines computing research involving autistic adults, analyzing 44 papers from the ACM Guide to Computing Literature published between 2007 and 2022. The work is distinctive in that the first author is autistic, bringing lived…
