Methodology for Co-designing Learning Patterns in Students with Intellectual Disability for Learning and Assessment of Numeracy and Communication Skills.

People with ID tend to need support with most daily tasks, require time for cognition and multiple repetitions during learning of basic skills (APA 2013).Developing their visual learning ability, communication and numeracy skills is important for their daily life but presents challenges. Contextualizing and gamification of communication and numeracy skills into visual formats can help in the learning and assessment processes.Before proceeding to co-design, It is important to explore the existing technological know-how, ability, inclination and acceptance. It is also important to understand accessibility issues and limitations to usage. Teachers, parents and carers are most suited to understand the needs of the students with ID. Semi-structured interviews with such domain experts will help explore the constraints for participant selection, data collection, nature of co-design activities and method of analysis. This knowledge is essential for the success of co-design activities which would include ideation process with the students with ID.
