John Muldoon has another great write-up of this talk

There isn't too much out there on how to design for kids. Even this first sentence highlights the problem.

Why? It's far too difficult to define what this group is. In fact, it's a number of groups defined by their development, each with specific design requirements.

In this talk, I'll highlight some of the findings from a recent project in the US as well as demonstrate some emerging best practice examples from around the web.

About Laurence

Laurence is a Senior Analyst with iQ Content, a UX design company based in Dublin. Since joining iQ four years ago Laurence has been involved in many aspects of the UX design process from interface and interaction design through to content and analytics. The projects he has worked on have been just as varied, most recently he was part of a team designing an e-learning application for students of all ages in the US.

Before joining iQ, Laurence was a senior software developer working with complex internal banking systems that were often unusable. Now an advocate for accessibility, user experience and good design, he has spoken on these topics at events for the Irish Internet Association and most recently at this year's UxLX conference in Lisbon, Portugal.

Outside iQ, Laurence will be familiar to oenophiles through his blog Sourgrapes.ie and his regular wine column in the Sunday Tribune. You can follow Laurence through @laurenceveale and also @smallsips.
