Participant empowerment is a core function of co-design.However, some participants might find co-design sessions disempowering if they cannot engage in activities or undertake tasks.Consequently, researchers and designers need to ensure that co-design is used in a way that is accessible to all participants regardless of impairment or disability.In this case study, we report on the accessibility of a codesign process through a series of co-design workshops with university students who experienced disabilities.While the co-design sessions explored the topic of an 'accessible university', participant reflections on the co-design experience brought to life the meaning of 'accessibility' in the context of how best to involve them in a co-design process.A flexible and negotiated approach and adapted tools improved the experience for those with accessibility challenges.Five key insights are presented to support others who wish to facilitate accessible codesign sessions.
