Visual Programming Tools (VPTs) allow users to create interactive mediaprojects such as games and animations using visual representations ofprogramming concepts. Although VPTs have been shown to have huge potential forteaching children with cognitive impairments including those with AutismSpectrum Condition (ASC), research has shown that existing VPTs may not beaccessible to them. Therefore, this study proposes a set of recommendations forthe design of accessible VPTs for children with ASC. Recommendations wereinitially gathered and validated by interviewing experts (n=7). The interviewswere thematically analysed to identify recommendations. A second set ofinterviews with a subset of the initial experts (n=3) was then conducted tovalidate the gathered recommendations. An examination of the availableliterature was then conducted to identify additional recommendations for thedesign of VPTs. These recommendations arose from those used for the design ofother interactive applications for children with ASC (e.g. virtualenvironments, serious games) and not identified as part of those the initiallygathered from interviews. A novel set of recommendations for the design of VPTsfor children with ASC and additional cognitive impairments has been defined asthe result of this study.
