Disability Dongle

2022-04-21 01:10:50.512175+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Interesting reading, that I think applies to a lot of design work for a population that we're not a part of: Disability Dongle

I created the term “Disability Dongle” in 2019 to draw attention to the phenomenon of design and engineering students and practitioners who prototype “innovative” disability solutions. The definition satirizes an outcome in which designs or technologies “for” disabled people garner mainstream attention and accolades despite valid concerns disabled people have about them.
