This report describes the work process to an interactive movie addressed to children with neurodevelopmental disabilities, where Jippieserien is the client. The aim is to explore how multimodal media can convey Jippieseriens message to children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and their parents, by taking the users needs into account. It is important to focus on the people who will use the system when designing interactive systems. This project is therefore using the designprocess human-centered design for interactive systems. The process includes four basic elements and provides guidelines for user-centered design. These parts are analysis, prototyping, implementation, and evaluation (Johansson. D &Lagerstedt. J, 2006). The users have expressed their needs in qualitative methods such as user testing with focus groups. The results from this study shows that you can customize a design based on the users different conditions through close communication between the customer, target audience and the use of multimedia. The previous research and the result of the user testing indicates that there is a strong connection between multimedia, disabilities and how Jippieseriens messages can reach out to the entire audience. You can give the user the ability to use multiple senses simultaneously then using various of media at the same time.
