40 million people in the United States

40 million people in the United States who have at least one disability that

who have at least one disability that

who have at least one disability that number grows enormously if we talk about

number grows enormously if we talk about

number grows enormously if we talk about the worldwide population and now we all

the worldwide population and now we all

the worldwide population and now we all understand the concept of a disability

but by applying such a negative label to

but by applying such a negative label to folks who have one we’re doing them a

folks who have one we’re doing them a

folks who have one we’re doing them a disservice so let’s get rid of that

like to share with you my journey with

like to share with you my journey with the differently-abled an inclusion and

the differently-abled an inclusion and

the differently-abled an inclusion and inclusion enabled design see I’ve been

inclusion enabled design see I’ve been

inclusion enabled design see I’ve been teaching engineering design at Stanford

teaching engineering design at Stanford

teaching engineering design at Stanford University for 14 years and in the past

University for 14 years and in the past

University for 14 years and in the past I did that by looking at historical

I did that by looking at historical

I did that by looking at historical failures and I would have students

failures and I would have students

failures and I would have students analyze them and then I would teach them

analyze them and then I would teach them

analyze them and then I would teach them a process to follow

a process to follow

a process to follow and if they did presumably disasters

and if they did presumably disasters

and if they did presumably disasters would be avoided in the future and as

would be avoided in the future and as

would be avoided in the future and as part of that work I just realized that I

part of that work I just realized that I

part of that work I just realized that I love to teach and so I thought I’d give

love to teach and so I thought I’d give

love to teach and so I thought I’d give back to the local community here and I

back to the local community here and I

back to the local community here and I volunteered to teach engineering

volunteered to teach engineering

volunteered to teach engineering concepts in the community high school in

concepts in the community high school in

concepts in the community high school in the STEM program science technology

the STEM program science technology

the STEM program science technology engineering and math and it was there

engineering and math and it was there

engineering and math and it was there that I met a young man named Zach

that I met a young man named Zach

that I met a young man named Zach Crichton zach has cerebral palsy he’s

Crichton zach has cerebral palsy he’s

Crichton zach has cerebral palsy he’s wheelchair abled and he can’t speak and

wheelchair abled and he can’t speak and

wheelchair abled and he can’t speak and I’m ashamed to say that when I first met

I’m ashamed to say that when I first met

I’m ashamed to say that when I first met Zach that I made some very incorrect

Zach that I made some very incorrect

Zach that I made some very incorrect assumptions about his intellect why is

assumptions about his intellect why is

assumptions about his intellect why is it by the way that when we see someone

it by the way that when we see someone

it by the way that when we see someone who’s wheelchair abled or who looks

who’s wheelchair abled or who looks

who’s wheelchair abled or who looks differently than us that we so often

differently than us that we so often

differently than us that we so often make incorrect inferences about them why

make incorrect inferences about them why

make incorrect inferences about them why is it that we tend to focus on human

is it that we tend to focus on human

is it that we tend to focus on human struggle and human challenge rather than

struggle and human challenge rather than

struggle and human challenge rather than human potential is it because when we

human potential is it because when we

human potential is it because when we see someone who is not whole that we

see someone who is not whole that we

see someone who is not whole that we somehow assume they’re incomplete I’m

somehow assume they’re incomplete I’m

somehow assume they’re incomplete I’m not sure why we do this I sadly did it

not sure why we do this I sadly did it

not sure why we do this I sadly did it was AK and I know that we can change it

was AK and I know that we can change it

was AK and I know that we can change it so while I continue to work with Zach

so while I continue to work with Zach

so while I continue to work with Zach through his para educator we bonded on

through his para educator we bonded on

through his para educator we bonded on some great topics like recycling and

some great topics like recycling and

some great topics like recycling and sustainability and mathematics in fact I

sustainability and mathematics in fact I

sustainability and mathematics in fact I was doing some math with Zach the other

was doing some math with Zach the other

was doing some math with Zach the other day and he never ceases to amaze me

day and he never ceases to amaze me

day and he never ceases to amaze me how quickly he can solve problems in his

how quickly he can solve problems in his

how quickly he can solve problems in his head and at the same time I was working

head and at the same time I was working

head and at the same time I was working with Zach I was teaching my students at

with Zach I was teaching my students at

with Zach I was teaching my students at Stanford and I had this realization that

Stanford and I had this realization that

Stanford and I had this realization that they really weren’t that much different

they really weren’t that much different

they really weren’t that much different that Zach just lacks a means of

that Zach just lacks a means of

that Zach just lacks a means of self-expression and by that I mean all

self-expression and by that I mean all

self-expression and by that I mean all of his

of his

of his and vision and wisdom there’s no simple

and vision and wisdom there’s no simple

and vision and wisdom there’s no simple way for him to get those out of his head

way for him to get those out of his head

way for him to get those out of his head and communicated directly to us I

further thought that my students would

further thought that my students would benefit from this realization that

benefit from this realization that

benefit from this realization that there’s a young man just like them

there’s a young man just like them

there’s a young man just like them except for this lack of means of

except for this lack of means of

except for this lack of means of self-expression so I set up a Skype

self-expression so I set up a Skype

self-expression so I set up a Skype conference call between Zach and my

conference call between Zach and my

conference call between Zach and my class at Stanford the students got to

class at Stanford the students got to

class at Stanford the students got to meet Zach over the Internet and I gave

meet Zach over the Internet and I gave

meet Zach over the Internet and I gave them a problem an engineering problem

them a problem an engineering problem

them a problem an engineering problem related to his wheelchair they loved

related to his wheelchair they loved

related to his wheelchair they loved trying to solve this problem they really

trying to solve this problem they really

trying to solve this problem they really enjoyed it and that inspired me to

enjoyed it and that inspired me to

enjoyed it and that inspired me to create a new class at Stanford that

create a new class at Stanford that

create a new class at Stanford that looked at the concepts of engineering

looked at the concepts of engineering

looked at the concepts of engineering design not through examination of

design not through examination of

design not through examination of historical failures but by looking

historical failures but by looking

historical failures but by looking through the lens of the

through the lens of the

through the lens of the differently-abled so I ran this idea by

differently-abled so I ran this idea by

differently-abled so I ran this idea by my teaching assistant Danielle Lucas

taught it for the first time at Stanford

taught it for the first time at Stanford last spring and I’m teaching it right

last spring and I’m teaching it right

last spring and I’m teaching it right now this fall this is a true engineering

now this fall this is a true engineering

now this fall this is a true engineering course and in fact it’s one of the first

course and in fact it’s one of the first

course and in fact it’s one of the first in the School of Engineering at Stanford

in the School of Engineering at Stanford

in the School of Engineering at Stanford that meets Stanford’s requirement for

that meets Stanford’s requirement for

that meets Stanford’s requirement for all undergraduates on engaging diversity

all undergraduates on engaging diversity

all undergraduates on engaging diversity so we teach the concepts of engineering

so we teach the concepts of engineering

so we teach the concepts of engineering design by challenging the students to

design by challenging the students to

design by challenging the students to solve problems that are confronted by

solve problems that are confronted by

solve problems that are confronted by the differently-abled but beyond the

the differently-abled but beyond the

the differently-abled but beyond the concepts of engineering design we wanted

concepts of engineering design we wanted

concepts of engineering design we wanted to teach the students to approach design

to teach the students to approach design

to teach the students to approach design with empathy we wanted them to embrace

with empathy we wanted them to embrace

with empathy we wanted them to embrace the notion that they should consider how

the notion that they should consider how

the notion that they should consider how all humans interact with designed

all humans interact with designed

all humans interact with designed objects and we wanted to do that not by

objects and we wanted to do that not by

objects and we wanted to do that not by showing them slides on a screen but by

showing them slides on a screen but by

showing them slides on a screen but by having them interact face-to-face

having them interact face-to-face

having them interact face-to-face hand-to-hand hand to prosthesis if

we wanted them to live this experience

we wanted them to live this experience and we also thought what better way to

what he was capable of in front of all

what he was capable of in front of all these students there was no way he was

these students there was no way he was

these students there was no way he was getting away with so much in the future

the students asked Zach lots of

the students asked Zach lots of questions and of course they all had to

questions and of course they all had to

questions and of course they all had to be formulated with yes or no answers

be formulated with yes or no answers

be formulated with yes or no answers because that’s the only way that Zach

because that’s the only way that Zach

because that’s the only way that Zach can respond I gave them a design problem

can respond I gave them a design problem related to the headrest on Zach’s chair

related to the headrest on Zach’s chair

related to the headrest on Zach’s chair you see that headrest sometimes doesn’t

and isn’t it sad that someone’s notion

and isn’t it sad that someone’s notion of inclusion was to make Adrian’s

of inclusion was to make Adrian’s

of inclusion was to make Adrian’s outward appearance different for their

outward appearance different for their

outward appearance different for their own comfort this is not what’s next

indeed if our idea of inclusion is to

indeed if our idea of inclusion is to make the differently-abled look normal

make the differently-abled look normal

make the differently-abled look normal then I submit it’s we who are disabled

we gave the students an assignment to

we gave the students an assignment to design a device to help Adrian with

design a device to help Adrian with

design a device to help Adrian with certain tasks they did a wonderful job

Adrian is actually headed to Thailand in

Adrian is actually headed to Thailand in a few weeks he’s going to teach blind

a few weeks he’s going to teach blind

a few weeks he’s going to teach blind people computer programming using

people computer programming using

people computer programming using tactile aids just amazing

so why inclusive design I can think of

so why inclusive design I can think of four main reasons why we should be

four main reasons why we should be

four main reasons why we should be inclusive in our designs the first thing

inclusive in our designs the first thing

inclusive in our designs the first thing it is unquestionably the right thing to

it is unquestionably the right thing to

it is unquestionably the right thing to do

do

do who on earth wants to be excluded number

who on earth wants to be excluded number

who on earth wants to be excluded number two regulatory there are actually laws

two regulatory there are actually laws

two regulatory there are actually laws that say we must be inclusive in certain

that say we must be inclusive in certain

that say we must be inclusive in certain aspects of our design mostly from the

aspects of our design mostly from the

aspects of our design mostly from the architectural perspective the third

architectural perspective the third

architectural perspective the third reason is the market forty million

reason is the market forty million

reason is the market forty million people in the United States alone that’s

people in the United States alone that’s

people in the United States alone that’s fifteen percent of the population and by

fifteen percent of the population and by

fifteen percent of the population and by the way by looking around this room I

the way by looking around this room I

the way by looking around this room I can tell that by virtue of aging and

can tell that by virtue of aging and

can tell that by virtue of aging and then not-too-distant future some of us

then not-too-distant future some of us

then not-too-distant future some of us are going to be differently abled we’re

are going to be differently abled we’re

are going to be differently abled we’re gonna be want to be part of that market

the fourth reason is untapped intellect

the fourth reason is untapped intellect by being inclusive in our designs

by being inclusive in our designs

by being inclusive in our designs we can tap into the knowledge and wisdom

we can tap into the knowledge and wisdom

we can tap into the knowledge and wisdom of the differently-abled

of the differently-abled

of the differently-abled and you’ll see shortly that that

and you’ll see shortly that that

and you’ll see shortly that that produces benefits for all of us but no

produces benefits for all of us but no

produces benefits for all of us but no matter what the reason one thing that’s

matter what the reason one thing that’s

matter what the reason one thing that’s clear is inclusion needs to be in the

clear is inclusion needs to be in the

clear is inclusion needs to be in the forefront of design it cannot be an

forefront of design it cannot be an

forefront of design it cannot be an afterthought and to that end a group of
