Designing for Embodied Empowerment of people with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder
Designing for Embodied Empowerment of people with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder
Samenvatting
Workshop paper
Taking an embodied perspective, we report on the
design of two interactive products aimed at
empowering people with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder
in coping with challenges of everyday life. Our
Research-through-Design study combined theory with
hands-on co-design work and in situ user observation,
in close collaboration with clients and their professional
caretakers, constructing experienceable prototypes as
tangible anchors for reflection. Reflection resulted in
guiding principles addressing the design potential of
designing for Embodied Empowerment, centering on
the client’s embodied-being-in-the-world.
