Abstract:
Today, user-centered design has become an essential and successful practice to design interactive systems. With the growing acknowledgment of the importance of universal usability and the need for influencing designs, User-Centered Design (UCD) ought to be structured to adapt its methodologies to the needs and requirements of people with disabilities. This paper is preliminary research that identifies the most relevant UCD methods, needs and best practices for working with Visually Impaired and Blind (VIB) children. We start by reviewing UCD methods and identify those that are most suitable for VIB children. We then propose a UCD process for VIB children and discuss how they apply with respect to needs, requirements and abilities of VIB children.
