Abstract

With few exceptions, technology for autistic children tends to be focused on the regulation of perceived deficits. With OutsideTheBox we focus on the strengths of the children as design partners and created in our first year four technological objects together with them. They all have common that they are embedded in the children's lives and share some degree of embodied interaction. We present a case study along with four objects, two of them with wearable components, two of them focused at sharing experiences in an embodied mode. This opens up the argument not only for more design actually led by autistic children, but also for companion technologies that embody situatedness. Such technologies are then not driven by an outsider's perspective of what an autistic child needs, but rather are intrinsically valuable to them as a user.
自闭症儿童的具体化伴侣技术
除了少数例外,针对自闭症儿童的技术往往集中在对感知缺陷的调节上。通过OutsideTheBox,我们专注于孩子们作为设计伙伴的优势,并在我们的第一年与他们一起创造了四个技术对象。它们都有一个共同点,那就是它们都融入了孩子们的生活,并在某种程度上分享了具体的互动。我们展示了一个案例研究以及四个对象,其中两个具有可穿戴组件,其中两个专注于以具体模式分享经验。这不仅为更多由自闭症儿童主导的设计提供了论据,也为体现情境性的配套技术提供了论据。这样,这些技术就不是由一个局外人对自闭症儿童需求的看法所驱动的,而是对他们作为用户具有内在价值的。
