Abstract

This research aims to explore how tangible technology created through co-design can be designed in a way that invites social interaction for people with intellectual disability. We conducted co-design sessions with one participant to create a sensory musical blanket. As the trials were run in a collective environment, their peers were drawn to the developing design. The design method and unique interactions are key contributions of this research.
