MusicTraces: A collaborative music and paint activity for autistic people
<|reference_start|>MusicTraces: A collaborative music and paint activity for autistic people: Painting and music therapy approaches can help to foster social interaction for autistic people. However, the tools sometimes lack of flexibility and fail to keep people's attention. Unknowns also remain about the effect of combining these approaches. Though, very few studies have investigated how Multisensory Environments (MSEs) could help to address these issues. This paper presents the design of a full-body music and painting activity called "MusicTraces" which aims to foster collaboration between people with moderate to severe learning disabilities and complex needs, and in particular autism, within an MSE. The co-design process with caregivers and people neurodevelopmental conditions is detailed, including a workshop, the initial design, remote iterations, and a design critique.<|reference_end|>
