Such tool allows to evaluate the usability of toys by children with visual, hearing and/or upper-limb motor impairments, through the analysis of the objects by an adult who well knows the intended user’s characteristics. The paper discusses the theoretical frameworks, the structure and the procedures of the TUET. The implications for its use in educational, familiar and manufacturing contexts are presented as well.
