Last but not least, Sydney presented a pictorial exploring how children with ADHD and their parents can customise their own health-tracking tech

Our second paper (Tegan’s first full paper, well done!) explores how cross-sensory metaphors (like “sharp smell”) help kids & adults connect. A metaphor-based game revealed age-based strategies, offering new ways to design tools that bridge generational gaps.

Brooke @b-morris.bsky.social presented work that challenges 90+ years of play theory (Parten, 1932) by proposing a neuro-inclusive continuum model of social play; a bold step toward designing tech that can support for all children. Congrats on the award Brooke!

@bristolhci.bsky.social and the Diverse-ability Interaction Lab had a good presence at #IDC2025 with two full papers and one pictorial, and with one of the paper receiving a Best Paper Honourable Mention Award!

If you're near Istanbul tomorrow, 29th May, join us at Özyeğin University from 2:30pm. I’ll talk about how co-design and cross-sensory cognition can offer new ways to design inclusive interactions beyond traditional assistive technologies.

With thanks to Gökçe Elif Baykal for the kind invitation

Listening to Japanese on stage during the closing keynote of #CHI2025 by Masako Wakamiya makes this the perfect CHI to have presented our Lost in Translation paper; questioning the centrality of English in HCI thinking and communicating about our thinking.
