Co-Design and Lived Experience in Innovation
The best innovations for people with disabilities typically come from processes that include them. Co-designâinvolving users as partners throughout design processesâproduces solutions that fit actual needs better than design for users without their participation. Lived experience isn't just useful input; it's essential expertise that professional designers often lack. Understanding how to incorporate lived experience in innovation processes matters for producing technology, services, and systems that actually work.
