Abstract

This paper describes the RHYME project, aimed at children with multiple disabilities, their families and caregivers. The goal in this cross disciplinary project is to create and evaluate platforms for co-creation through music and physical interaction in order to improve health and well being for the participants. The paper has two main contributions: 1) a review and discussion of Participatory Design in Design for All, and 2) Tangible Interaction and familiarity as a basis for the possibility of musicking for all, for children, their families and caregivers, on individual terms.
