Disability Led Thinking for Design Innovation

Description:

This workshop highlights the need for and value of the representation of disabled talents in leadership positions as an approach to design innovation. We will explore the perspectives of a diverse pool of disabled creatives who are pioneering innovation in design through their embodied experiences. We learn how understanding disabled experiences can transform design by debunking myths around access needs and talking about interdependence. Disability modalities and perceptions are also discussed. Finally, we will review best practices for collaboration and cocreating with disabled communities.
