DESCRIPTION:A.F. Newell (2006). Older people as a focus for inclusive desi
 gn\, Gerontechnology 4(4)\, 190-199. \n\nOriginal abstract: This paper tak
 es an extreme\, and to some extent stereotypical\, view of the various ‘
 inclusive design’ paradigms. It has been written to be provocative\, and
  to encourage designers to adopt a radical approach to including older and
  disabled people with in their design brief. It recommends focussing on th
 e needs and wants of older users followed by addressing the challenge of i
 ncluding able bodied people in the potential user group\, rather than vice
 -versa. The paper concludes by suggesting the use of professional theatre 
 to assist this process. The paper focuses on Information Technology system
 s\, but a similar argument can be applied to product design.\n\nThis paper
  is not available online - please contact Alan Blackwell if you would like
  to receive a copy by email.\n\nRubric for the reading group: Everyone att
 ending is expected to read the paper in advance. Please bring a copy with 
 you\, preferably annotated with interesting reflections. The format of dis
 cussion will be a brief invited introduction/critique by two members of th
 e group\, followed by general discussion and informal mixing.
