The Puzzling Life of Autistic Toddlers: Design Guidelines from the LINKX Project

Abstract: This paper presents guidelines for designers to help them consider what children with autism value in interactions with their environment. The guidelines were developed during the LINKX project in order to design a language learning toy for these children and are based on literature study, expert interviews, generative techniques, and prototype testing with users. We present both the theoretical or practical background of each guideline together with a discussion how the guideline was evident in the prototype … Show more

“…We interpreted that the experience of other in distress would not facilitate learning but rather risk triggering distress in the child itself. The interpretation was strengthened by indings from literature, where recommendations include to "give (children with autism) a feeling of being in control," "provide a structured situation," "let them create a structure themselves," "reward them with sensory experiences," and "let them use their whole body" [13]. Eggy facilitated only the last of these but obstructed the others.…”

“…After the development of the game is completed, a testing will be conducted on two groups, LFA and normal children to evaluate the effectiveness of the game. Like other children, LFA children also explore the world through playing [19]. There will be a following paper which described the result of the experiment.…”

“…Inspired by the concept of a toolkit for expression [21] and Fictional Inquiry [1], objects with pronounced sensory and functional properties were presented as part of a story (exploring a treasure chest on a desert island) that aimed to engage children in autotelic play, motivated by curiosity, exploration, play and aesthetics rather than an externally defined task ( [17], p. 40). Video recordings captured during these sessions provided initial links between patterns of engagement and the sensory qualities of objects.…”
