The Helen Hamlyn Centre for

Design are working with

VISION2020, Thomas Pocklington
Trust and VICTA on a designresearch project focusing on Low
Vision Devices. The project will
explore how design can more
effectively meet the needs of
young people and offer nonstigmatising, desirable and
functional solutions.
The aim is to work closely with
young people aged between 12
18 who are visually impaired, with
and without additional
educational needs, to inform the
development of future
interventions for LVDs; both
digital and low-tech.
We are looking for the opportunity
to spend time in schools or carry
out home visits, collecting
qualitative research through

observations, interviews, cocreation workshops and focus

user groups.
If you would like to be involved in
the project, whether you are a
young person, parent, educational
expert, or know anyone who
would, please do get in contact
with Simon Kinneir, Research
Associate, and Elizabeth Roberts,
Project Researcher. You can either
email us LVD@rca.ac.uk , or call
us on 0207 590 4242.
