本文概述了参与设计过程中采用的COSPATIAL项目，这是开发互动，协作技术的自闭症谱系的儿童和青少年，以支持合作和社会对话技能。该项目从一开始就有一个由教师组成的“核心设计团队”参加一系列的设计研讨会。典型发育儿童和自闭症儿童群体也经常参与设计和反馈活动，以告知我们的技术原型的开发。初步的印象，从试点测试表明，孩子们喜欢使用的原型和教师发现他们有用的，我们认为，我们的参与式设计方法有很大的贡献，这种积极的反应。
This paper outlines the participatory design processes adopted within the COSPATIAL project which is developing interactive, collaborative technologies for children and young people on the autism spectrum to support collaboration and social conversation skills. The project has involved a ‘core design team’ of teachers in a series of design workshops from the start. Groups of typically developing children and those on the autism spectrum have also been regularly involved in design and feedback activities to inform the development of our technology prototypes. Initial impressions from pilot testing suggest that children have enjoyed using the prototypes and teachers have found them useful; we suggest that our participatory design methods have strongly contributed to this positive response.
