Abstract

The Cuca Fresca memory game was developed for healthcare professionals to personalize care for children with physical and cognitive disabilities. This paper presents an analysis of the results from this game redesign activities, in which the Socially Aware Design artifacts were used in two workshops to create a new version of the game, which would be adaptable and usable as an educational tool in brazilian schools. In this analysis, we discuss whether the adaptation requirements produced in the workshops meet the needs of stakeholders so that a wide diversity of players can play the new version of the game.

Keywords: Adaptation, Game, Redesign, Sociotechnical, Socially Aware Design
