Although considerations have been proposed by some researchers, little is still known on the design and the evaluation of Accessible digital musical instruments (ADMIs) for pupils with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), and more generally for pupils with special educational needs (SEN). This article reports on the design process and evaluation of a series of ADMIs, specifically developed for pupils with NDDs. The series consists of 5 web applications (a Max/MSP version is also available for some of them) aimed to play a musical composition evoking a natural soundscape. Through a participatory and iterative design process, some modifications to the application interfaces were made, to cope with the users’ impairments. The evaluation was carried out through a qualitative approach in a special educational class of a French middle school: 4 pupils with NDDs took part in some musical sessions aimed to test the applications, and in interviews. A special education teacher and a teaching assistant were also involved in the musical sessions and in interviews. Some considerations emerged from the evaluation that will guide the future steps of the design process.
