| Abstract | Children living with visual impairments (VIs) are increasingly educated alongside their sighted peers in mainstream rather than special schools. A challenge that arises in this context is how to design mobility technologies that are inclusive of both children with and without VIs. Here, we advocate an approach to blind navigation that also supports social interaction; emphasising that knowledge of a surrounding environment and how to navigate it should also include knowledge of opportunities for social encounters and engagements. To achieve this, our work combines field work and co-design to understand and address inclusive mobility challenges in mainstream schools. |
