Break into small groups and [post your group's thoughts on Ed](https://edstem.org/us/courses/31170/discussion/2373160) about:
1. Examples of products you have encountered that are award bait rather than valuable to users (ideally disabled, but others too if you can't think of disability specific ones)
2. How should capitalist goals be balanced against the value of the ideas provided through experience design be balanced in industry settings?

Is the “right” user identified? In education s/w design studies that use PD, frequently the teacher is the only defined user, and not the learner.
Is the “right” user identified? Which stakeholders are included (e.g. student & teacher?)

Finding ways to communicate
- Participant can be reliant on the non-disabled person (researcher or support worker) for access to the spoken and written word
- Can be a tendency for support workers to speak on behalf of the person with a
disability

Gaining informed consent
What might differ here from summative research?
- bigger ask (more time) potetnially, especially in PD vs interview
- In order to gain informed consent, people with disabilities need to understand what research is
- Accessible information
- Similar concerns in recruiting to summative; but bigger ask makes concerns bigger
Special case: Children -- Assent versus Consent
Special case: Nonspeaking individuals
- Can be a tendency for support workers to speak on behalf of the person with a
