Identifying and integrating diverse roles of stakeholders for co-design of technology in disability support context

Investigating how people with intellectual disability and people in their support network can be involved in the design and introduction of technology in the context of disability day centres. This research explored the interdependent relationship between people with intellectual disability and support workers and how this relates to technology use. The importance of the different roles that support workers play and the corresponding values related to those roles were identified. The Role-based Co-design method was developed to iteratively integrate the values of different stakeholders into the design of technology for use at disability day centres
