Abstract
Co-design is used to provide a wide range of stakeholder perspectives before and during the design process, but geography and transportation difficulties often prevent important stakeholders from participating as co-designers. This chapter explores a spectrum of co-designs from group to individual and describes techniques that have been successful when working with co-designers remotely. Techniques for working with individuals with mental or sensory impairments, in particular visually impaired participants, are also given. Four examples of co-designs led by the authors are given with a discussion and tools used in each session. Incorporating remote techniques into the co-design process enables stakeholders from around the globe and those with mental or sensory impairments to provide feedback and input throughout the development process.
