Participatory Design with Proxies Jordan Boyd-Graber and Sonya Nikolova Princeton University
We are working on … • Desktop-PDA system for people with aphasia • Desktop Component • Large, flexible system • Create appointments and phrases • Mobile Component • View compositions without stigma • Use system for phrase playback
Designing for People with Aphasia • Main Challenges • Communicating with the user population • Designing for varying degrees of the disability • Inaccessible user population
Participatory Design with Proxies • Proxies: three SLPs • Alternative and augmentative communication devices • Hundreds of cases • Family situations and patient needs • Communication strategies
Participatory Design with Proxies • Low fidelity prototype evaluation • Structured Interviewing • Ethnographic Interviewing
Questions • Are there other alternatives to using proxies? • Is the use of proxies an effective design strategy? • How do we measure the effectiveness of this approach?
