Abstract
The Georgia Tech Excel program's Collaborative Design course involves 12 college students with varying degrees of cognitive impairment. This course is meant to support authentic inclusive design and enable equitable access to design language and processes for these as well as other students with impairments which could range from dexterity issues to intellectual developmental disorders or executive functioning issues. This paper primarily focuses on the research that we conducted to design and run a pilot module within the course that focuses on exploring hands-on physical represenations of online physics simulations.
