“…Users view the images to learn how to perform the task. Basic Calendar [8] is an application that enables task-tracking through a customized calendar interface. Technologies beyond the smartphone include Time Timer (http://www.timetimer.com) -a physical timer with a red disc that disappears as time elapses, making it easier to visualize how much time is left for completing a task; and Watchminder (http://watchminder.com) -a wrist watch for setting vibrating alarms.…”

Children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) experience a deficit in cognitive processes responsible for goal-directed behaviors, known as executive functioning (EF).In an effort to assist them, we developed TangiPlan -a prototype of a tangible assistive technology intended to improve EF during morning routines. TangiPlan was designed based on the following guidelines: implement intervention techniques recommended by experts; reduce conflicts with caregivers; avoid intrusion; support flexibility and autonomy. These design guidelines were implemented in a prototype consisting of six tangible objects, each representing a task that needs to be completed during a child's morning routine, and a tablet application for planning tasks and matching them with objects. An initial evaluation of the prototype with two case studies resulted in improved organization and time management, increased satisfaction, and fewer conflicts with parents during morning routines.

“…TaskTracker [9] is a smartphone application enabling users to define tasks for themselves, set alarms and motivational messages, and then track actual progress. Basic Calendar [12] is a smartphone application that enables task-tracking through a customized calendar interface. It also enables others to remotely add tasks for the user.…”

Children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) experience a deficit in cognitive processes responsible for purposeful goal-directed behaviors, known as executive functioning (EF). In an effort to improve EF, we are developing TangiPlan -a set of tangible connected objects that represent tasks children perform during their morning routine. We describe the initial stages of a user-centered design process, consisting of interviews with both domain experts and potential users, followed by paper prototyping. Based on our findings, we formulated preliminary design principles for EF assistive technology: facilitate organization, time management and planning; involve caregivers in the process, but strive to reduce conflict; implement intervention techniques suggested by experts; avoid distraction by mobile phones; avoid intrusion. We discuss the benefits of implementing these principles with a tangible interface, present our prototype design, and describe future directions.
