Abstract
User-Centred Design (UCD) methods (for example, Shneiderman, 1992; Preece, 1994; Vredenburg et al. 2002) place the user and their activities at the centre of all stages of the design process. Moving from “system-centred” to “user-centred” design has enabled great improvements to be made in the effectiveness of user interfaces (Wood, 1998). However, the UCD approach presents a challenge for people who use AAC. They are often observed as end-users and are sometimes asked for their opinion during the prototyping phase; but they are seldom asked for their opinion of what they would like their communication system to do for them at the very earliest stages of development.
