Abstract

In this paper we describe the aims and requirements of a project devoted to designing and developing Open Source didactic Software (SW) for children in the autism disorder spectrum, conforming to the Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) learning technique. In this context, participatory design with therapists and child's parents is necessary to ensure a usable product that responds to these children's special needs and respects education principles and constraints of the ABA methodology.
