Investigação de metodologias de design de interface com foco na acessibilidade de pessoas com transtorno do espectro autista

Abstract

The use of technologies has proven to be a potential support tool in the therapy and teaching process of people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). There are a number of websites and applications aimed at people with ASD, however most systems have accessibility and usability issues due to the lack of effective design strategies to provide appropriate user interface and interaction. Information Technology (IT) professionals and researchers may face difficulties in defining the appropriate interface design methodology for this audience. Therefore, access to information about artifacts is necessary to promote the accessibility of autistic users and improve the process of developing technologies aimed at this public. This research aims to conduct a systematic literature mapping to enable the identification, selection and analysis of data from scientific publications on interface design methodologies for autistic user systems, specifying existing design methodologies and application context adopted, and allow the design of technologies with higher quality of use. To this end, this paper presents the creation of a catalog with design guidelines, to assist designers in the elaboration of technology interfaces developed for users with ASD, so that it meets the needs of users.
