“…At the same time, computational tools can be significant enablers, particularly for children with special needs. Hourcade [24] provides a thorough overview of the issues and theories surrounding design for children, a scope too large for this paper. In this section, however, we review some projects that are most closely related to this work.…”

Interventions to support children with autism often include the use of visual supports, which are cognitive tools to enable learning and the production of language. Although visual supports are effective in helping to diminish many of the challenges of autism, they are difficult and time-consuming to create, distribute, and use. In this paper, we present the results of a qualitative study focused on uncovering design guidelines for interactive visual supports that would address the many challenges inherent to current tools and practices. We present three prototype systems that address these design challenges with the use of large group displays, mobile personal devices, and personal recording technologies. We also describe the interventions associated with these prototypes along with the results from two focus group discussions around the interventions. We present further design guidance for visual supports and discuss tensions inherent to their design.

“…Both inspirational and information Probes can be used to facilitate the participation of users in design. Hutchinson et al's [20] Technology Probes, used to provoke users to consider their needs for remote interaction with others, are an example of information Probes being used in this manner. Mättelmaki's final role for Probes is to facilitate dialogue between users, researchers and designers.…”

“…The rhythmic haptic cueing was delivered through our prototype wearable device, the Haptic Bracelets, which acted as a technology probe [32]; where a new technology is placed and used in the environment it was designed for and observing how users interact with it. As part of this technology probe approach, complete motion capture data was collected and analysed, not to test any particular hypothesis, but for observing the participant's reaction to the rhythmic haptic cueing and its effect on their gait, and to help frame future research questions.…”

Abstract. Classifying stroke survivors based on their walking abilities is an important part of the gait rehabilitation process. It can act as powerful indicator of function and prognosis in both the early days after a stroke and long after a survivor receives rehabilitation. This classification often relies solely on walking speed; a quick and easy measure, with only a stopwatch needed. However, walking speed may not be the most accurate way of judging individual's walking ability. Advances in technology mean we are now in a position where ubiquitous and wearable technologies can be used to elicit much richer measures to characterise gait. In this paper we present a case study from one of our studies, where within a homogenous group of stroke survivors (based on walking speed classification) important differences in individual results and the way they responded to rhythmic haptic cueing were identified during the piloting of a novel gait rehabilitation technique.
