Technological Tools for Assisting People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Development Disorder (IDD) and Physical Disabilities (PD) Developing a technological tool that assists people with different disabilities or disorders to help their personal autonomy

People with an Intellectual Disability (ID), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Physical Disability (PD) represent a significant portion of the population. Their condition leads to issues in regard to their autonomy. Living in their own home, in an autonomous way, increase the well-being of these persons and their loved ones. Assistive technologies can be seen as an interesting avenue to make that possible. However, very few researches in the field address the specific need of these persons. In this paper, we present a technological tool aiming to support these persons. We conducted a qualitative study aiming to describe the obstacles, strategies and needs for home support, as well as implementation issues and suggestions regarding assistive technology tools for people with ID, ASD and PD. We also present a new phone app that we developed according to the results of our study, which aims to support the autonomy of users and their social participation.
