Abstract: Task clarification poses various challenges to designers as they need to understand the different needs of users before translating the requirements into specifications and aptly conceiving product concepts in the subsequent design stage. This paper presents a descriptive study for the evaluation of a framework and its implementation as a computer-based prototype tool, proposed to assist designers in generating and understanding affordance-based requirements for speech and language therapeutic toys. Results show that early design support is beneficial to both experienced and novice designers.
