Project Details

A floor seating for young wheelchair-users to join their peers during floor activities. The seater responded to a request made by an elementary school teacher to create a comfortable option for students. The users were able to select their favourite design in this co-created experience. This thoughtful work allows disabled peers to engage in social, educational and recreational activities with dignity. It ensures full accessibility in the classroom for all students.

Judges’ Comments

We love how this really takes into account lived experience of someone and responds to their particular needs.
