Abstract / Description of output

This doctoral work considers how to best co-design with minimally-verbal children on the autism spectrum in classroom contexts. It focuses on 1) leveraging personal interests and individual strengths to foster engagement, social interaction and self-expression through novel technologies and 2) child-centred, holistic methodological approaches to co-design work. This research questions how integrating these may better engage and include minimally-verbal children on the spectrum in the co-design of digital technologies.
