fact, the co-design framework amplifies the role of community members as co-designers with power to influence the design directions and main, defining features.Accordingly, co-design shifts the balance of power between community members and designers— in essence, designing “with, not for, people” [34]. Furthermore, by emphasizing theunderstanding of one’s individual positionality and implicit biases throughout the co-designprocess, the latter can become a medium for co-designing equitably with marginalized groups,including communities with disabilities.In fact, the co-design process has been adopted in several projects designing for disabilityinclusion.
