This process usually involves gathering input through meetings or feedback sessions, understanding sensory sensitivities, and adapting designs for clarity and simplicity. Designers may also participate in interdisciplinary team discussions, adjust materials based on direct user feedback, and iterate designs to maximize their educational or therapeutic impact. Such collaboration helps ensure the final products are both visually appealing and functionally supportive for their intended audience.
