SUMMARY
How might we address the stigma against people with intellectual and developmental disabilities?
It's a big ask. The initiative I created as a part of my degree project addresses Down Syndrome in particular due to my sister's personal experiences and my own observations over the course of our lives.
My research and interviews led my initial concept to shift and morph from its original 3 separate pieces into this one initiative.
Disciplines
- Branding
- Research
- Storyboarding
- Web Design
- Web Development
Team
- me!
In cases where there is limited or no access to the internet, I wanted to make sure it was still possible to connect to the initiative in some way. Your battery could run out in the middle of the day just before a chance encounter, or you could be in a large medical building with thick walls and no signal.
In any case, being able to point someone toward an initiative after telling your personal story may also be a way to relieve yourself of the pressure of being the only person with an I/DD they're familiar with.
