CHIMELIGHT: Augmenting Instruments in Interactive Music Therapy for Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Published in ASSETS 2019: Proceedings of the 21st International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility, 2019
Summary
This study presented CHIMELIGHT, a system for augmenting instruments in interactive music therapy for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. The work explored how interactive technology can be embedded in therapeutic music activities to support engagement and interaction.
The study contributes to the Supporting and HCI lines by examining how augmented musical instruments can support child-facing therapeutic interaction. It also connects accessibility research with technology-enhanced support for children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
Research line
- Supporting: interactive technology for therapeutic and developmental support contexts
- HCI: augmented instruments and interaction design for accessibility
- Autism Support: technology-enhanced interaction in child-facing therapeutic settings
