How might we develop products made with and by disabled users
rather than for them? Could we change living and working spaces to
make them accessible rather than designing products that "fix"
disabilities? How can we grow our capabilities to make designs more
“bespoke” to each individual? After Universal Design brings
together scholars, practitioners, and disabled users and makers to
consider these questions and to argue for the necessity of a new
user-centered design. As many YouTube videos demonstrate, disabled
designers are not only fulfilling the grand promises of DIY design
but are also questioning what constitutes meaningful design itself.
By forcing a rethink of the top-down professionalized practice of
Universal Design, which has dominated thinking and practice around
design for disability for decades, this book models what inclusive
design and social justice can look like as activism, academic
research, and everyday life practices today. With chapters, case
studies, and interviews exploring questions of design and personal
agency, hardware and spaces, the experiences of prosthetics' users,
conventional hearing aid devices designed to suit personal style,
and ways of facilitating pain self-reporting, these essays expand
our understanding of what counts as design by offering alternative
narratives about creativity and making. Using critical perspectives
on disability, race, and gender, this book allow us to understand
how design often works in the real world and challenges us to
rethink ideas of "inclusion" in design.
