디지털 기술을 활용한 발달장애인 이동성 지원에 대한 국내⋅외 연구 동향 분석 = A Literature Review on Digital Technology-Based Mobility Support for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examined domestic and international research trends on mobility support for individuals with developmental disabilities who use digital technology, and analyzed the technical and design-related characteristics identified in these studies. A total of 50 articles were selected based on selection criteria, and research trends and characteristics were analyzed. According to the findings, related studies have been conducted more actively abroad. Among the research participants, adults by age and individuals with intellectual disabilities by disability type accounted for the largest proportion. Experimental research methods were more commonly employed than qualitative research methods. In terms of technological and design-related features, smartphones were the most frequently used hardware. Regarding software, commercial programs and custom-developed applications were used with comparable frequency, each representing a substantial proportion of the studies. Additionally, design features and support strategies in digital technology use were analyzed based on implementation patterns across research settings, target goals, and dependent variables, and context-based implementation strategies. Based on these findings, this study proposes key implications and future directions for inclusive digital mobility support design for individuals with developmental disabilities.
