ABSTRACT This study investigates the types of help-seeking situations affecting 32 blind users in interacting with five digital libraries (DLs). Multiple methods were applied to collect data: pre-questionnaires, think aloud, transaction logs, and post-questionnaires. The paper identifies 43 types of situations under three categories of physical situations and five categories of cognitive situations. Most important, DL design guidelines are created to support blind users overcoming these situations.

Aphasia is an acquired loss or impairment of the language system that can occur after stroke. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can provide an option for the delivery of intensive aphasia rehabilitation but the users' views (i.e. people with aphasia) must be considered. There is no consensus measure of self-reported feedback in ICT-delivered aphasia rehabilitation and existing ICT usability questionnaires do not present questions in an accessible format for people with aphasia. This research employed a co-design process in which a group of adults with aphasia and the researchers collaborated in design workshops. The final product is an online feedback questionnaire that is accessible for people with aphasia. It provides relevant and meaningful self-reported feedback on participant engagement in ICT-delivered aphasia rehabilitation. This feedback is important when planning and monitoring aphasia rehabilitation.

People who have cognitive disabilities can achieve personal fulfilment and social integration when they access the job market. In the case of working on industrial assembly lines, they can perform at the highest standards when assembly sub-tasks have been adequately adapted. However, the arrival of new production paradigms for the factory of the future (e.g., Industry 4.0) present new challenges and opportunities for workers with cognitive disabilities who will be part of hybrid human-automation assembly cells. We propose that alternative task-sharing approaches with collaborative robots may be more appropriate in the presence of such disabilities, in contrast to practices proposed for non-disabled workers. We describe a representative scenario (assembly of electrical cabinets) around which we are developing our research on this topic.

Children's problematic eating behavior is one of the biggest problems parents suffer from. Even though the role of parents in building children's eating habit is critical, it is very difficult for parents to continue on the positive interaction with children during mealtime. We describe our preliminary study to develop a system that provides systematic analysis of parent-child mealtime interaction, so as to promote children's healthy eating habits. We propose an application called MAMAS, a mealtime assistant using magnetometer and speech recognition, which 1) noninvasively tracks mealtime interaction patterns, 2) augments analysis with self-reported data and quantification, and 3) provides data-assisted analysis for parents' self-reflection.

Mobile text entry has become an increasingly important part of many peoples' daily lives. While most input occurs through individual letters being tapped on a virtual QWERTY keyboard, this does not have to be the case. We explore how well users are able to learn an ambiguous keyboard that is modeled after a standard QWERTY layout but does not require users to tap specific keys. We show that this keyboard is a plausible text entry technique for users with little or no vision, with users achieving 19.09 Words per Minute (WPM) and 2.08% Character Error Rate after 8 hours of practice.

Our objective is to conceive 3D-printed maritime maps accessible with visual impairment. Since sea marks are critical elements of the maritime spatial cognition, we determined different shapes to print buoyage along a co-conception process. Our current concern is to adjust the minimum size of each buoy to be easily recognizable by touch. Taking into account previous findings, we set up an experimental design inspired by the opticians Monoyer scale. More precisely, participants are asked to successively identify in-line shapes decreasing by size). Preliminary co-conception feedbacks suggest to print 5mm elements to reduce the time to recognize different buoys and minimize cognitive load during explorations.

We present a multimodal science simulation, including visual and auditory (descriptions, sound effects, and sonifications) display. The design of each modality is described, as well as evaluation with learners with and without visual impairments. We conclude with challenges and opportunities at the intersection of multiple modalities.

Sports are increasingly data-driven. Athletes use a variety of physical activity monitors to capture their movements, improve performance, and achieve excellence. To understand how wheelchair athletes want to use and share their activity data, we conducted a study using a prototype wheelchair fitness tracking device, which served as a probe to facilitate discussions. We interviewed 15 wheelchair basketball players about the use of performance data in the context of wheelchair basketball, and we discuss several implications for using and sharing automatically-tracked data. We find that the wheelchair basketball community is less concerned about the privacy of their data, and, in contrast to health data, athletes are motivated by competition. We conclude with a set of design opportunities that leverage digitized performance metrics within wheelchair basketball, which could apply to the broader wheelchair and adaptive athletics community.

People with Developmental Disabilities (DD) often rely on other people to perform basic activities such as leaving the house and accessing public spaces. This problem, exaggerated by a decrease in community engagement, has been documented to decrease their sense of self-efficacy. Telepresence robots provide a unique opportunity for people with DD to access public spaces, particularly for those who are homebound or dependent on others for using transportation or buying exhibit tickets. This research evaluates the use of telepresence robots operated by people with DD in exploring a public exhibit. This study was in partnership with Hope Services, an organization that provides skill-improving activities for people with DD. Our analysis consisted of quantitative and qualitative methods using data from semi-structured pre- and post-interviews focusing on participants' sense of physical and social self- efficacy, and well-being. Our study revealed positive trends toward showing that using telepresence can contribute to wellbeing and physical and social self-efficacy. Therefore, we believe that there is some promise for using telepresence robots to tour an exploratory space for people with DD and that it can be a viable option for those who face accessibility limitations.
