1. Specify the context of use
2. Specify requirements
3. Create design solutions
4. Evaluate designs

6. Participation action research (PAR)
“PAR” individuals with disabilities are involved setting:
Participatory
Life in society
Action
Experience
PAR
Research
Mind, Knowledge
 Research agenda
 Developing research questions
 Participating in the research as
researchers
 Advisors
 Consultants testing research ideas
 Evaluating the results of the research
User should be “involved in” the process,
but not have a dominant role

7. User Centered Design
Functionality
Users
Environment
Standard equipment not
in standard locating

9. Clinicians for disabled users
Therapists // Nurses // Special education teachers // Linguists // Psychologists

10. The Goal: a new paradigm
 To facilitate the development of better specialised equipment
 To provide “mainstream” engineers with an effective and
efficient way of including people with disabilities within the
potential user groups for their projects.
The excellent is an enemy of goal !
