"That's our game!" : Reflections on co-designing a robotic game with neurodiverse children
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Many neurodivergent (ND) children are integrated into mainstream schools
alongside their neurotypical (NT) peers. However, they often face social
exclusion, which may have lifelong effects. Inclusive play activities can be a
strong driver of inclusion. Unfortunately, games designed for the specific
needs of neurodiverse groups, those that include neurodivergent and
neurotypical individuals, are scarce. Given the potential of robots as engaging
devices, we led a 6-month co-design process to build an inclusive and
entertaining robotic game for neurodiverse classrooms. We first interviewed
neurodivergent adults and educators to identify the barriers and facilitators
for including neurodivergent children in mainstream classrooms. Then, we
conducted five co-design sessions, engaging four neurodiverse classrooms with
81 children (19 neurodivergent). We present a reflection on our co-design
process and the resulting robotic game through the lens of Self-Determination
Theory, discussing how our methodology supported the intrinsic motivations of
neurodivergent children.
