The System Usability Scale (SUS) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT-2) were adapted for a project in which individuals with level 2 autism, light or moderate brain injury, or light intellectual disability were asked to rate the usability and acceptability of a prototype for a computerized workstation training system.

The co-design method involved to :

1. Establish a multidisciplinary advisory group (advisor from SHIEN –Sustainable Healthcare Innovation and Evaluation Network/ In French – Réseau d’évaluation et de l’innovation en santé durable (REISD), principal investigator, research coordinator)
2. Develop initial drafts of the prototype (SHIEN advisor),
3. Conduct think-aloud usability evaluation (SHIEN advisor, principal investigator, research coordinator)
4. Test the prototype in clinical simulations at ITSA, Servio and atelier Lapierre of CIUSSS-CN; 12 SUS were completed.
5. Generate a final prototype informed by workshops (3 researchers and a master student)
