The degree project is a case study of a child named Saaqib Sheikh who is a student at Prabhat Education Foundation based in Ahmedabad that provides alternate education to children with special needs. Saaqib is a nine year old boy and diagnosed with Spastic Cerebral Palsy. The project takes shape from a broad understanding of the infrastructure in India for special needs, learning about developmental disabilities in children; to a deeper understanding of Cerebral Palsy with the support of Saaqib, his family and Prabhat Foundation. Looking at special needs in the context of an Indian urban settlement facing challenges in finances, social stigma, physical space, etc., gives designers a sense of urgency and responsibility to design systems, services and products that suit best. We are headed towards a more inclusive approach to design that enables an individual to think through a broader spectrum of users. Hence, the outcome of this project is a product that is inclusive of Saaqib’s lifestyle and surrounding which also mirrors the lifestyle of many other people with special needs.
