Paper Abstract:
|
Human-Centered Design requires end-user consideration and involvement in all steps of the design of the human-computer interface. But how can this be accomplished if the primary user group is users with special cognitive and affective needs? Would classical tools and techniques be sufficient or would they need to be adapted and complemented? This paper shares the strategies we adopt and the experiences we are gradually gaining in including users with dyslexia in the design of the LITERACY Web-Portal. LITERACY is a project of the European Union aiming at improving social inclusion of youth and adults with dyslexia. This case study intends to provide insight on including end-users even though - or particularly because - they have special needs. |
