Abstract / Summary

The BA(Hons) Sustainable Product Design students engage with human-centred design research methods to understand more clearly the needs of users for whom a product is being designed for. The research seeks to expand the opportunities for co-design practice with audiences typically excluded from this process. The students worked with Joanna Grace, a Sensory Engagement and Inclusion Specialist and founder of The Sensory Projects. Through consultation and collaboration with children who are non-verbal and living with cognitive impairments, the students designed a range of engaging sensory educational products that facilitate independent interaction or a sensory conversation.
