| Abstract: | The DYL (Design your Life) toolkit contains a variety of well-researched and tested design methods to guide autistic users through a design process to create their own tools. However, the physical form and presentation of the toolkit still has ample room for improvement. The goal is to redesign the toolkit to bring its physical representation up to the level of its content. A strong root in both designing for autism as well as embodied sensemaking helps sprout a redesign for the physical form of the toolkit. In doing so, the toolkit itself can communicate the theoretical content of the DYL design process to the user on a deeper level, and spur further creative and conceptual thinking.The toolkit is used as a case to center the theorical research questions, in which I ask how physical form-giving can contribute to creative sensemaking. |
