... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested.

Colonius, Immo, Budde, Sandra and Annicchiarico, Roberta (2010): Participatory design for challenging user groups: a case study. In: Proceedings of the 2010 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2010. pp. 339-340.

Motivation -- To develop the interaction design of an intelligent assistive device and environment for elderly people suffering from disease-related cognitive deficits within an interdisciplinary and international development team. Research approach -- Combining two different participatory development methods in order to involve both the development team and the real end-user. Findings/Design -- Scenarios were used to develop an idea of interaction design which were later adapted involving the real end-users in a operational prototyping phase. Research limitations/Implications -- Operational prototyping is done involving 21 end-users. Evaluation with a larger group is an open issue. Originality/Value -- The research makes a contribution of how to involve both application domain experts and cognitively impaired end-users in the development process of interactive systems. The value added consists of a successful field study and experience how to create an efficient workflow. Take away message -- Participatory design for people suffering from cognitive deficits is challenging but possible.
