Abstract

People of all abilities deserve to be included in the research and design of information access technologies. In this tutorial, we will explore the latest frameworks and approaches in interaction design that seek to engage and design with people with diverse cognitive abilities. Frameworks on ability-based design and respectful design suggest starting from users abilities, personalising, and engaging in co-design activities in order to truly understand users. Frameworks on design-after design and co-design beyond words provide tools and approaches to engage with users with intellectual disability, who may not be verbal, in co-design exercises. This tutorial informs participants about various frameworks and ways of enacting them in a participatory and hands-on approach.
