This study developed a reliable method for assessing touch screen device skills in individuals with disabilities. The resulting 50-skill assessment tool, validated by experts, aids assistive technology professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Assistive Technology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • Touch screen devices are ubiquitous, posing challenges for individuals with disabilities.
  • Assessing user abilities and limitations with touch screens is difficult for assistive technology experts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a knowledge base for assessing touch screen operation skills.
  • To create an application for evaluating user abilities and limitations on touch screen devices.

Main Methods:

  • A six-step procedure involving a multidisciplinary team to collect and validate assessment knowledge.
  • Content validity and expert agreement analysis (Cronbach's α, Kruskal-Wallis test).
  • Development of 15 domains and 50 skills/measurements, illustrated with flowcharts.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • High reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.94) for the 50-skill assessment questionnaire.
  • No significant agreement difference between clinicians and technicians.
  • Significant agreement differences found between educators and clinicians.

Conclusions:

  • A validated and reliable assessment tool for touch screen device skills was developed.
  • The tool supports assistive technology professionals in evaluating users with disabilities.
  • Further development of the assessment application is planned based on the validated skills.
