Resumen:
Child Centred Design focuses on understanding children's contextual and
experiential factors for design. However, the conventional user-designer
interaction could not support the specific situation of designing for
infants. This is due to infants are not verbal or self-reflective.
Approaches addressing users largely dependent on caregivers could
support the case of design for infants, considering the wide knowledge
caretakers may hold about their care-receivers. This paper addresses a
literature survey of tools for designing for children, aiming to provide
theoretical support for the formalisation of a method for designing for
infants. The study followed a systematic approach data abstraction and
analysis. The study shows that the current CCD domain has a focus on
co-design tools with intergenerational teams, addressing children older
than 6 years old. There were no findings addressing the case of infants.
However, it was found that frameworks intended to design for autistic
children might support the case of design for infants, as they involve
actively caretakers. Finally, this study proposes a selection of methods
and tools that might be relevant when designing for infants.
