In My Own Words: Configuration of Tangibles, Object Interaction and Children with Autism
presentation
posted on 2023-06-08, 07:06 authored by William Farr, Nicola YuillNicola Yuill, Eric Harris, Steve HinskeAn Augmented Knights Castle (AKC) play set was adapted so that children with autism can configure programmable elements. This is compared with a non-configurable AKC. When the system is configurable, less solitary play and more cooperative play occurred. Configurability is a key factor in design for children with autism allowing greater individual control and more socially oriented behaviour. We suggest that tangibles provide a safety net for encouraging social interaction as they allow for a broad range of interaction styles. Copyright 2010 ACM.
