It is a fact that people with Down syndrome (e.g. DS) have deficits related to verbal working memory [1]. Previous research proves that working can be improved through rehearsal training using computerized environments [2]. However, technology enhanced interventions on people with DS have not focused to verbal work memory alone. Studies have either combined evaluation with other cognitive functions or not at all [3, 4]. In this paper we describe a technology tool designed for specific verbal memory training of people with DS, called “Memorize- Image it!” and its design aspects as they have been evaluated by DS intervention facilitators.
