Abstract

Participatory design (PD) approaches strive for inclusion and empowerment in the process of design, no matter the experience or abilities of participants. In practice, however, conventional PD methods can be inappropriate for those who communicate in non-verbal ways, which leads to exclusion. This paper asks what participation looks like when we place value on modalities of expression that are beyond the verbal. Responding to PDC 2022's 'Senti-Pensar' theme, we ask; How can we better attune to different forms of expression in a socially just way? What are 'other' dimensions to participation? How do we value these, even if they are difficult to describe but somehow felt? Retroanalysing the second author's work in the context of dementia care and design through the first author's framework for non-verbal participatory design, we reflect on how we can recognise and support participation other.
