Guia de design inclusivo: interfaces digitais para pessoas com Transtorno de Espectro Autista (TEA)

Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents challenges in interacting with generic digital interfaces due to unique sensory and cognitive needs. Technological interventions demonstrate potential to support the learning and autonomy of individuals with ASD. This study conducted a structured literature review to synthesize and consolidate Inclusive Design guidelines, aiming to optimize digital usability and accessibility for this population. The resulting conceptual guide focuses on: Visual Simplicity (minimalist design and calm colors, such as light blue), Customization (personalization of layout and fonts), Visual Communication (combined use of text and images side-by-side), and Consistency and Predictability (literal language, short text, and stable structure). The application of these guidelines promotes social and digital inclusion, ensuring the effective use of technologies by people with ASD.
