This paper presents a pilot study on end-user programming by therapists of a tangible tool for children on the autism spectrum. The core design ideas were to use detailed natural language descriptions of states and events, and an incremental process to facilitate the programming task.

Abstract

This paper presents a pilot study on end-user programming by therapists of a tangible tool for children on the autism spectrum. The core design ideas were to use detailed natural language descriptions of states and events, and an incremental process to facilitate the programming task. Our study provides initial evidence of the feasibility of this approach.
