Design Thinking for Technology Supporting Individuals With Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Developing Countries: Participatory Design for Inclusivity
Abstract
As medical technology progresses, it is necessary to investigate other methods of design for technology used by individuals with neuro-developmental disorder that are participative and inclusive in nature. Design Thinking is a methodology that has been successfully used to address technology development for neurodevelopmental disorder users, as is extends User Centered Design to become User Sensitive Inclusive Design. This chapter is concerned with assessing the use of participatory design, and in particular the Design Thinking methodology as a basis for the participative development of interfacing technology for use by individuals with neuro- developmental disorders, with a particular focus on developing economies with restrictions in budget and know-how. The chapter presents multi-disciplinary literature across both the information technology and medical sciences bodies of knowledge in order to arrive at an assessment and recommendations for implementation of inclusive technology projects for people with neuro-developmental disorders across the developing world.
