Co-designing together with persons with visual impairments
pp. 411-434
Abstract
The importance of involving the persons intended to use a design, already in the design process leading up to the final product or service, is increasingly acknowledged. This chapter is intended to provide both inspiration and practical suggestions for anyone interested in designing for and with persons with visual impairments. The text focuses on co-design , but many of the adaptations and materials presented can also be used in more traditional design activities, such as usability testing. The chapter rests on an inclusive mindset . In other words, we focus on how to expand and enhance existing methods regarding who is involved, and how to provide means for participation to wider target groups, rather than how to create "special" methods for "special" users with "special" needs.
