“…Others have shown that making space for disabled people to articulate their needs according to their interests creates design spaces that are meaningful to researchers and disabled people alike. For example, Elvitigala et al designed an alternative for indicating start times to deaf swimmers and realised that different information is relevant for deaf swimmers [81]. An exception within the corpus can be found in our own work within the OutsideTheBox project [232].…”

Autistic children are increasingly a focus of technology research within the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community. We provide a critical review of the purposes of these technologies and how they discursively conceptualise the agency of autistic children. Through our analysis, we establish six categories of these purposes: behaviour analysis, assistive technologies, education, social skills, therapy and well-being. Further, our discussion of these purposes shows how the technologies embody normative expectations of a neurotypical society, which predominantly views autism as a medical deficit in need of 'correction'. Autistic children-purportedly the beneficiaries of these technologies-thus become a secondary audience to the largely externally defined purposes. We identify a lack of design for technologies that are geared towards the interests, needs and desires of autistic children. To move HCI's research into autism beyond this, we provide guidance on how to consider agency in use and explicitly allow for appropriation beyond externally driven goals. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Participatory design; Interaction design process and methods; Accessibility design and evaluation methods;

“…Jaijun et al ( 2021) reported that the introduction of mobile Internet technology into physical education courses improved student persistence and selfefficacy by enhancing teacher-student interactions. Such skill acquisition is not limited to athletics; Elvitigala et al (2016) developed the SwimSight, which visually displays times and other information for swimming.…”

Support systems have been developed to facilitate the active participation of the visually and hearing impaired, as these impairments limit information acquisition and activities. However, efforts to improve the quality and quantity of information presented to persons with disabilities are still in the developmental stage due to the unique perception and recognition styles in persons with visual and hearing impairments. By clarifying such perception and recognition mechanisms and the current status of assistive technologies, researchers can develop support schemes taking advantage of the abilities of people with visual and hearing impairments, and extend their information processing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to organize the unique characteristics of perceptual ability and communication strategies reportedly acquired by persons with visual and hearing impairments and the information assurance methods based on sensory substitution. For the visually impaired, we describe a visual substitution system that focuses on sound and tactile information, in addition to their sensory substitution functions. We also introduce example applications through support methods in parasports and computer games. For the hearing impaired, we review communication methods and support strategies using information devices.
