Abstract
Abstract. Usability testing of mobile applications involving people with Down syndrome is an issue that has not been comprehensively investigated. There is no single proposal that takes on board all the issues that could potentially be taken into account to deal with the specific needs of people with Down syndrome. We propose a guide for a usability testing process involving participants with Down syndrome. This guide is called USATESTDOWN. It is based on a literature review and experience gained at a number of workshops where people with Down syndrome used mobile devices. This paper briefly describes USATESTDOWN and its application at a special employment centre called PRODIS with 10 participants. RELACION CON LA TESIS DOCTORAL:Esta publicacion es muy importante ya que evalùa la Guìa propuesta en el centro Prodis, èste es un centro especializado en personas con Syndrome de Down. Se interactuò con especialistas, padres de familia, tutores etc . El trabajo conjunto sirviò para aplicar de la mejor forma la guìa y se hizo encuestas de satisfacciòn obteniendo muy buenos resultados de aceptaciòn y tambièn algunas recomendaciones adicionales que fueron incluidas para las siguientes evaluaciones de la guìa y que constan en la versiòn final del USATESTDOWN. INDICADORES DE CALIDAD: Ratio de aceptación 51%
