HCI Challenges In Designing for Users with Disabilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human-computer interaction (HCI) specialists propose methodologies for building interfaces to software applications. HCI emphasizes developing a deep understanding of user characteristics and tasks. As important as HCI is for designing programs used by the general public, it is even more important if the target audience is disabled. We designed software to be used in the Traumatic Brain Injury Program at a local hospital to assist the cognitive rehabilitation of patients with brain injuries. We gathered feedback from therapists and patients in the hospital environment to refine our product. The reactions of all users determined how successful we were at designing a program with such stringent requirements.
