Abstract

Our research explores the development of a novel technology-based prototype to support children and designers during brainstorming, one of the most challenging activities within Participatory Design (PD). This paper describes a proof-of-concept prototype for a tool that aims to empower children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) during PD to maximise their contributions to the design and their own benefits. Preliminary results revealed that the prototype has the potential for reducing anxiety in children with ASD, and supports unlocking their creativity.
