Abstract

This study aims to extend an interface design process proposed for the accessibility of autistic users, making it suitable for the accessibility of deaf users. The use of the process is analyzed, identifying opportunities for improvement, thus ensuring greater accessibility to deaf users. Our methodology consists of: identification of opportunities to extend the process, evolution and analysis of the process, and obtaining lessons learned and opportunities for improvement. A prototyping of a routine interface for deaf children was obtained. We intend to contribute to a better development of interface design processes aimed at deaf children.
