Abstract: | Music is a source of self-expression. Concerning adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP), active music-making brings multiple benefits. This paper explores strategies to empower Christine Jimenez musically. She is a 51-year-old individual with cerebral palsy and a member of the Bliss i-Band, a music community that gathers weekly as an ensemble. This design-based project investigates lived experiences and challenges associated with technology and communication within the Bliss i-Band and proposes design concepts to overcome systemic gaps. With an Inclusive Design approach, the project utilizes a community-led co-design practice by involving i-Band members, their music companions, and facilitators as collaborators. The three-dimensional inclusive design framework lays the foundation of this collaboration of designing within a complex adaptive system. By integrating every co-designer’s narrative, we emphasize the importance of understanding user needs, goals, and contexts. This co-design intervention provides insights into the current system and proposes a foundation for future innovations within the Bliss i-Band and similar community frameworks. |
