Abstract
Taking an embodied perspective, we designed two interactive products to empower people with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder in coping with the challenges of everyday life. Our Research-through-Design combined theory and hands-on co-design, involving clients and professional caretakers. Reflecting on several experienceable prototypes resulted in guiding principles for designing for Embodied Empowerment, all going beyond classical conceptions of Assistive Technology.
