Interactive technology for disabled children at school is typically used as an assistive tool or a learning facilitator, and promotes inclusion by enabling a more effective participation to school activities by students with special needs. In this paper, we discuss how we can achieve a wider form of inclusive education by involving non-disabled children as co-designers of technology for their disabled schoolmates. We describe examples of this approach in the context of an ongoing project at a local school, involving tangible technology.

Abstract
Interactive technology for disabled children at school is typically used as an assistive tool or a learning facilitator, and promotes inclusion by enabling a more effective participation to school activities by students with special needs. In this paper, we discuss how we can achieve a wider form of inclusive education by involving non-disabled children as co-designers of technology for their disabled schoolmates. We describe examples of this approach in the context of an ongoing project at a local school, involving tangible technology.
