- Presents a case study of participatory design (PD), with very young children with autism, with learning difficulties and language impairment, a group previously considered not to be able to contribute to PD. Engaged teachers in design and evaluation, increased their knowledge of technology and research, and enabled them to contribute to design and be more critical users. Provides best practice example, and methods developed could significantly influence practice. One of the earliest evidence-based, empirically informed, fully evaluated apps for iPad for this population. The resulting app, FindMe, has had more than 85,000 downloads.
