TUTAForm: questionário multimídia adaptado para respondente surdo

Abstract

With the guidelines and inclusion laws Assistive Technology features have been developed. As for other interactive products, these should pass through usability assessments that take into account the perspective of real users. In the traditional approaches of observation of the interaction it is common the use of questionnaires to identify the profile, satisfaction and emotional state of the participants. These instruments may be inadequate when their respondents are deaf people who are not fluent in the Portuguese language. Aiming to promote the autonomy of deaf users in the evaluation process of AT resources, this paper describes the planning and conduction of participatory design workshops to adapt questionnaires. The workshops were conducted with interpreters of LIBRAS and deaf people and the resulting questionnaire has multimedia representations for questions/answers. A beta version of the solution was used by deaf people after a set of simulated interaction observation sessions. The results are also described.
