Abstract (EN): A previous literature review indicated the lack of studies about how to develop accessible games for children with Down syndrome and evaluate their interfaces. With that in mind, the research team decided to do a new one focusing only on finding usability methods that can be applied with this specific audience regarding their safety and their conditions. Therefore, this analysis used the Cochrane methodology organized into: research question, location and selection of the study, critical evaluation of the studies, data analysis, and content analysis. In total, 22 articles were selected from Scopus and Web of Science, in which the observational analysis method was the most used one, maybe because it does not require the user to communicate verbally a lot nor to remember his entire journey. Other methods found were heuristic evaluation, interview, focus group, and questionnaires. Some initiatives must be mentioned such as the research of Lazar et al. which used the assistance of an illustrator to help the volunteers in expressing their ideas during a workshop, and finally, the review permitted to create a list of precautions and recommendations before and during a test with children with Trisomy 21. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
