Welcome to my
little
rincón of the CS web server. I just finished my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
My dissertation research focused on applying participatory
design and technology probe methods to design technology with and for people with cognitive
disabilities. I designed a mobile communication
system (a picture-based PDA phone) for young adults with significant cognitive disabilities. For more information about my research, you
