However, these reports show that PD is used in an ad hoc fashion, while a methodological framework for the inception, construction and evaluation of HATs is still missing. In this paper, we report the results of an action research performed to design a communication device to help a non-verbal child develop her language skills. PD4CAT - a participatory design method for customized assistive technology was used to direct this research. %@ 978-85-7669-262-1
