从事视障儿童工作的专业人员（即专业教师和教育工作者、定向和行动训练员、心理学家等）必须创建自己的教材。事实上，只有少数改编的材料存在，并不能完全满足他们的需要。因此，快速原型工具和方法可以帮助他们设计和制作适合视障学生教学的材料。在本研究中，我们首先设计了一个博客，使专业人士能够创建自己的教学材料。然后，我们设置了一个挑战，五个团队，包括一个视觉障碍的专业人士和计算机科学的学生。每个团队的目标是设计和制作一个教学材料，基于手工制作，3D打印工具和廉价的微控制器，以满足专业人士的需求。在视障学生使用他们的材料后，我们采访了专业人士，以评估使用情况和满意度。专业人员报告说，这些材料易于制作，对视障学生的教学很有价值。他们还报告说，基于3D打印和廉价微控制器的DIY原型设计使他们能够创建自己的教学材料，从而准确地满足未满足的需求。重要的是，他们会建议他们的同事使用这种方法和新工具。然而，他们认为，他们需要援助，以创造自己的新材料。
Professionals working with visually impaired children (i.e. specialist teachers and educators, Orientation and Mobility trainers, psychologists, etc.) have to create their own teaching materials. Indeed, only few adapted materials exist, and do not fully meet their needs. Thus, rapid prototyping tools and methods could help them to design and make materials adapted to teaching to visually impaired students. In this study, we first designed a blog enabling professionals to create their own teaching materials. Then, we set up a challenge with five teams including one professional of visual impairment and students in computer science. The aim of each team was to design and make a teaching material, based on handcrafting, 3D printing tools and cheap micro-controllers, fitting the needs of the professional. After they have used their material with visually impaired students, we interviewed the professionals in order to evaluate usage and satisfaction. The professionals reported that the materials were easy to make, and valuable for teaching to visually impaired students. They also reported that DIY prototyping, based on 3D printing and cheap microcontrollers, enables them to create their own teaching materials, and hence accurately meet unanswered needs. Importantly, they would advise their colleagues to use this method and new tools. However, they consider that they would need assistance to create new materials on their own.
