A Case Study On Design Considerations For Motion Interaction Game Focusing On Children With Developmental Disability In Iran

Motion interaction games for children with developmental disability are the current research area. Developmental disability is a lifelong disability that prevents children to do their day-to-day activities such as dressing, bathing and eating. There are a number of studies exploring the use of motion interaction games for children these children in English speaking countries. This study aimed to consider the design components for motion interaction games with Iranian children. Therefore, we considered the components of interaction games for rehabilitation through interviews with caregivers of children with developmental disability in Iran. Findings from this preliminary study suggest that motion games should focus on identified characteristics that are necessary to effectively support children, namely support for 1) using children`s contributions 2) designing multi-user motion games and 3) customization. Based on the results, we will make recommendations to design motion interaction games for Iranian children with developmental disability.
