Building Something Special: lessons in designing for children with special needs.

Speakers from System Concepts, the BBC and Aardman graphics gave a presentation at the UK UPA about their experience re-designing the Something Special website for children with special needs.

The presentation was extremely well received, and a film describing the work is now available on YouTube:

It demonstrates how usability and accessibility testing can have a positive impact through out the design process; how considering the special needs of children with disabilities can improve the user experience for everybody and how well-designed technology can have a positive impact on disabled children's lives.
