Abstract

Recent research has discussed co-designing with autistic children in several settings. However, none of the these studies had investigated the inclusive play field. In this PhD work, we aim to co-design and evaluate a tool to promote inclusive, collaborative play with and for autistic children in an educational context. The work is divided into three phases: Exploration, designing and prototyping, and evaluation. We are currently working toward the end of the first phase. So far, we have conducted a systematic literature review and interview sessions. The achieved results emphasized the need to facilitate collaborative, inclusive play in educational contexts given the different benefit it can have on enhancing children's communication and problem-solving skills.
