Abstract

Software for young children requires specific attention to a variety of details that range from the used metaphors, interaction modalities and even used language. These aspects gain further relevance when creating software for critical activities such as fear therapy, requiring specific approaches during the design process right from the start. This paper describes the design process of a set of software solutions for young children's fear therapy using mobile devices. We address the used techniques, procedures and describe the resulting prototypes. Initial evaluation results and future work plans are also presented.
