Workplace environments and models including onsite, hybrid, and virtual.
An older person with a physical disability.
Healthcare and physical rehabilitation settings.

Aligning with the College of Design & Georgia Tech

CIDI explores the ways that people engage with the world by centering those whose experiences have been historically excluded from design processes, including people with disabilities who are expert designers of their own lives. In doing so, we help create a community of learning, discovery and creation that empowers people of all backgrounds.
