Design for accessibility: inclusive design experiences

From the current reconnaissance of the conditions of fruition and accessibility, it is evident that until nowadays also the objects of use are designed and made irresponsibly. The major problem is that scientific and technological progress has a power of attraction and those who design forget a major aspect: move towards other people. The European Community with the 2000-2020 program-strategic lines has also confirmed the adoption of regulatory measures to ensure the integration of the principle of accessibility and the «design for all» in the education and training programs for the interested professions to promote the development of the EU assistive technology market. The contribution illustrates the experimentation work in progress, regarding to the configuration of a new multisensory system, designed to restore the formal and figurative perception of images, through aptic sensations that can enhance the educational experience of children with visual-sensory special needs. In order to optimize, innovate and strengthen the design process, the research activities concerned the deepening of knowledge and the identification of design principles and methods of social inclusion - tangible and intangible - in a connection route and integration between different disciplinary languages. In this path through the discipline of the Industrial Design and from the methodological experience and the design experiments, it has been possible to implement an action of communication, interaction and connection between the different disciplinary areas through a dynamic and inclusive vision.
