Abstract

This chapter introduces foundational knowledge and tools to support those advocating the rights of children with disabilities to enter into discussion with the field of design, recognising its role as an active and direct agent of children’s rights. Five interrelated ‘designerly ways’ are discussed to explore how design can act as an agent acknowledging, integrating, and facilitating the rights of children with disabilities. The field of inclusive paediatric mobility design is focused upon to provide context-specific insights. Two key directions are outlined regarding the transitioning and prioritisation of designerly ways to help optimise design as an agent of children’s rights.
