From Behavioral and Communication Intervention to Interaction Design.

To improve functional communication and behavioral management, many children with disabilities receive behavioral and communication-related intervention from professionals such as behavioral analysts and speech and language therapists. This paper presents user perspectives from three clinicians who have used and/or designed assistive technology with children with disabilities, and calls for researchers to recognize and leverage clinicians' knowledge to design accessible technology for children with complex sensory and communication needs.
