Abstract
Interactive systems for people with disabilities have proved to be an excellent way of providing technological support to incorporate them in everyday life activities. A lot of effort has been devoted to research on models, methods, and techniques that incorporate HCI techniques to the development process of such interactive systems. The diversity of those works focuses on a specific target population such as elderly or children, and to a specific problem like physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities. In this chapter, we present an agile methodology to develop interactive systems for children with disabilities that we have used to develop real-life projects. Even that each project focuses on different problems they all are related to assist children in everyday activities. The development process includes different HCI techniques for the analysis, design, and evaluation of the resulted works and has been proved to be adequate as it has been used by different development teams. The methodology will be illustrated as long with the some examples of the solutions that we have produced using it.
